About the company

Carboniferous is working to safely accelerate one of Earth’s most powerful natural climate recovery processes by sequestering terrestrial biomass in anoxic marine basins. Anoxic basins contain no dissolved O2, so they are inhospitable to all eukaryotic life (animals, plants, protists, and more). This means that biomass sequestration in anoxic basins avoids potential impacts on these seafloor communities. In the absence of these organisms, nearly all (>90%) of the carbon deposited in anoxic basins can be preserved for thousands of years or more.
