About the Company
Cella is building the future of carbon storage by transforming overlooked volcanic formations into permanent, high-performance CO2 storage sites. Their technology expands where and how carbon can be securely stored underground, reducing costs and risks while improving verifiability and public acceptance. Headquartered in New York and a pilot launching in Kenya’s Rift Valley, Cella is making mineralization a reliable and bankable pillar of the carbon management ecosystem.
About the Solution
Cella’s in-situ mineralization process injects captured CO2 into basalt formations, where it reacts naturally with the rock to form stable carbonates that lock away carbon for geological timescales. Their patent-pending Water-Alternating-Gas injection technology increases per-well capacity, reduces water use, and accelerates mineralization. Supported by an integrated digital platform for site screening, injection modeling, and MRV, Cella delivers a scalable, low-risk solution that complements existing carbon-capture infrastructure worldwide.
