We’re delighted to have worked with Isometric to develop the first protocol for durable carbon removal in mining. This protocol will enable accurate monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon removals produced through the reaction of carbon dioxide with alkaline waste. It also ensures that carbon removal activities comply with local and international environmental standards. “Our CDR pathway leverages alkaline industrial waste and provides a low-cost and highly-scalable way to remove gigatonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere. Arca has been delighted to support Isometric's development of this CDR protocol. We look forward to using it to produce safe, durable and high-quality removals that buyers can trust”, says Dr. Greg Dipple, Arca’s co-founder and Head of Science. Rocking CO₂ to stabilize the climate — reliably and accurately. #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonDioxideRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction #carbonremoval #mining #miningindustry

Rocking around our rover tree.🎄 This holiday season, Arca is celebrating an incredible year and reflecting on all the hard work that made it possible. None of our success would be possible without our network of supporters. Thank you to our team, our industry partners, our investors, our funders and everyone who encourages us to keep rocking CO₂ to stabilize the climate. Happy Holidays from Arca. 🎉 ❄️ #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonDioxideRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction #carbonremoval

"Mining is in my blood”, shares Jaclyn Donald, our Deployments Director. "I come from a long history of Canadian miners and grew up in mining communities.” After completing her studies in chemical and environmental engineering, Jaclyn started at an environmental firm. Coincidentally, she was assigned to a role that involved removing ammonia from mine waste. When she discovered Arca, she thought, “A company that merges mining and carbon removal? That can’t be real.” As she learned more, she realized, “This is incredible. It's reversing the negative impacts of mining on the planet.” What excites her most about Arca? “I'm surrounded by the smartest people I've ever met. It's a privilege to hear them bounce ideas off each other, to see the science come to life, and to help increase carbon capture rates massively.” #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonDioxideRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction #carbonremoval

Rock-solid support from the Canadian Government. 🇨🇦 We recently had the pleasure of hosting The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, at our Vancouver headquarters. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), a department under Minister Wilkinson, recently announced $1.8M in funding to support the development of Arca’s Mineral Activation technology. A big thank you to Minister Wilkinson for championing climate tech innovation and driving climate action across Canada. 🌎 #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonDioxideRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction #carbonremoval

The carbon gateway - how carbon removal can attract new talent to mining. There are severe shortages and skill gaps for entry-level positions in the mining industry. This is affecting the bottom line. In this article, learn how climate technologies such as carbon removal can serve as a gateway for new talent to enter mining. #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonDioxideRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction #carbonremoval #mining #miningindustry

Carbon Direct recently released their insightful “2024 State of the Voluntary Carbon Market” report, highlighting that high-quality credits are in high demand but in short supply. What makes removals high-quality? Earlier this year, Microsoft and Carbon Direct identified stability and durability among key criteria for high-quality removals. (https://lnkd.in/gBq9Fyjt) At Arca, we transform CO₂ into rock, forming stable, durable, and insoluble carbonate minerals. Our removal process works very quickly and stores carbon over geological time scales, exceeding 10,000 years. Want to learn more about our unique carbon removal pathway? Visit us at https://lnkd.in/gC7XvmMe. Carbon Direct continues to provide leadership in the industry.

Arca was at the recent CONVERGE 2024 conference held by the B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE). This event lived up to its name with a convergence of investors, funders, and clean tech companies, along with excellent panelists. Our takeaways: 🌎 Despite political uncertainty, there’s strong optimism about climate action, with British Columbia a leader in climate tech innovation. 📈 Investors emphasized the need for companies to think commercially early on. They prefer cost-effective solutions with minimal footprint, especially in sectors where Canada has an advantage, like mining. 🌟 Arca was recognized in the event, highlighting our progress and responsibility. Congratulations to Sarah Goodman, Todd Sayers, Chantelle Carden and the rest of the CICE team for a groundbreaking event. You rock! #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonDioxideRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction #carbonremoval

We’re rocking Down Under. 🇦🇺 Our Deployments Project Manager and Team Lead Kam Bhowany spoke about the opportunities in mine waste at the recent National Exploration Under cover School (NExUS) – Western Australia Roadshow. Meanwhile, our Field Scientists, Samuel Keller and Araylah McDougall attended the annual OzFlux event in Perth, Australia, where they met with flux researchers and other industry professionals. #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonDioxideRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction #carbonremoval
