The Carbon Vault envisages an industrial, process-led, emergency response to climate change. The time for prevention is long gone; governments and corporations have failed to prevent imminent catastrophe, and war has now been declared on greenhouse gases. The Carbon Vault utilises ‘Carbon Capture’ (CCS), to not only remove Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere, but permanently mineralise it in volcanic rock formations which are then mined and used to create a new carbon-negative material, ‘CarbonCrete’.
