We refer to the combined process as Zero Petroleum Carbon Dioxide Removal (“Zero Petroleum CDR”).
1.2. This combined process is used to provide
Zero Petroleum CDR services (“Zero Petroleum CDRServices”). The applied processes and methodsare not used on an industrial scale and may notbe based on proven technology. Zero PetroleumCDR is being scaled up to bring the relevant technology to an industrial scale to contribute to reverse climate change. We will contact you with general updates and information from time to time.
