CO2 Lock Corp. and Cielo Carbon Solutions along with CarbonQuest, Sign Letter of Intent to Pursue Point Source Capture and Permanent Storage of Carbon Dioxide in British Columbia

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 25, 2024) – CO₂ Lock Corp. and Cielo Carbon Solutions along with American-based technology partner CarbonQuest, are pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent that outlines the framework for capturing and sequestering 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, scaling up to a target of 1 million tonnes per year.

This agreement paves the way for securing CO₂ captured from the industrial source with integrated sequestration and permanent storage solutions which together form a critical component of Canada’s decarbonization pathway. The need to decarbonize as well as permanently sequester associated emissions is more critical than ever and this collaboration between Cielo Carbon Solutions, CarbonQuest, and CO₂ Lock will facilitate these efforts, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally responsible approach to energy use.

“This strategic relationship that combines a technology and deployment solution from CarbonQuest and Cielo that can capture up to 95% of CO₂ from emitters and the permanent carbon storage that CO₂ Lock offers is a significant step forward,” said Scott Larson, CEO of CO₂ Lock. “Cielo’s cost-effective, end-to-end turnkey solution that utilizes cutting-edge technology to offset carbon emissions without disrupting site operations is a perfect fit for what we offer.”

“This LOI completes the value chain and ties in directly with our business model,” commented Johnathon Sipos, Cielo’s CEO. “As we combine our point source carbon capture technology that is scalable and purpose built for industrial and commercial sectors with storage from CO₂ we have an offering that is incredibly compelling.”

About CO₂ Lock Corp.

CO₂ Lock Corp. is an emerging leader in the carbon mineralization storage and sequestration sector and is targeting commercialization for the permanent and safe storage of CO₂ underground and in geological formations. The Company has developed a set of patent pending processes, trade secrets and capabilities that allow it to store carbon underground, permanently and at scale and as such has identified up to 300 sites around the world where it can build out storage sites. As CO₂ Lock expands globally, it has the potential to be able to permanently sequester many mega-tonnes of CO₂ per year. With this focus on sustainability and innovation, the Company is committed to advancing large-scale carbon mineralization underground (in-situ CO₂ mineralization).

About SAM

Located approximately 50 kilometers southwest of Prince George, BC, the 5080 hectare SAM project was staked in 2022, and hosts a large, serpentinized ultramafic body containing significant concentrations of brucite and other minerals capable of carbon mineralization. CO₂ Lock has completed successful injection of CO₂ at depth to confirm the effectiveness of its groundbreaking technology as well as completed geological analysis that confirms the deposit has an exceptionally promising mineralogy for CO₂ mineralization and permanent storage.
