Olivine Mineral Propels Coastal CO2 Capture Initiative in North Carolina

In its recent announcement, Vesta heralds; “Vesta is proud to announce the successful deployment of our Coastal Carbon Capture pilot project in Duck, North Carolina. We estimate this pilot project will remove approximately 5,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide after accounting for its emissions, and it will be extensively monitored by independent third parties.We are excited to advance the world’s understanding of the role olivine sand can play in making coasts more resilient while addressing the root cause of climate change”.

Albanian Minerals CEO Sahit Muja articulated, “Our planet has been generously endowed with essential elements to safeguard Earth, biodiversity, and humanity. Regrettably, the vital triangle of life—air, land, and water, our most precious natural resources—is now under severe threat from pollution.” Muja emphasized, “Ocean acidification poses a global menace to oceans, estuaries, and waterways, often referred to as the ‘evil twin’ of climate change. It presents one of the most significant ecological challenges worldwide, with severe environmental, social, and economic repercussions for ocean industries. Effectively addressing this issue requires a coordinated governance effort.”

Presenting a natural remedy to counter ocean pollution, acidity, and mineral depletion, Mr. Muja underscored, “Exploring nature provides invaluable insights into sustainable and harmonious environmental solutions. Over millions of years, nature has honed processes and systems to achieve balance and efficiency. Numerous key principles observed in nature serve as inspiration for environmental solutions.”

Continuing, he explained, “Nature underscores the significance of biodiversity in maintaining ecosystem health and resilience. Minerals, forests, and soil act as natural filters, purifying water and air through physical, chemical, and biological processes.”

Muja detailed, “Replicating these natural filtration mechanisms in engineered systems can offer sustainable solutions for water and air purification. Nature adeptly utilizes renewable energy sources, such as sunlight and wind, in its processes. Prioritizing and advocating for renewable energy solutions, inspired by natural processes, is crucial in reducing reliance on non-renewable resources.”

He concluded, “By closely observing and learning from nature, researchers and environmentalists can uncover sustainable and regenerative solutions that respect the intricate balance of ecosystems. Biomimicry, a practice drawing inspiration from nature to address human challenges, exemplifies the potential of applying nature’s wisdom to tackle environmental issues,” as expressed by Sahit Muja.

Sahit Muja eloquently expressed, “In our pursuit of sustainable solutions, we’ve unveiled an ingenious approach employing the extraordinary green rock, magnesium silicates, olivine, and a meticulously crafted blend of essential minerals. Our method involves mining these rocks, milling them with eco-friendly energy and practices, employing electric trains and environmentally conscious ships for transportation, and dispersing the grains over targeted environments. This stands out as the most efficient, secure, and cost-effective strategy to combat climate change and the concomitant ocean acidification.

Muja emphasized, “Our groundbreaking product, featuring a high-grade olivine variant, coupled with the utilization of free wave energy in oceans, has the power to convert CO2 into magnesium carbonates. This mineral combination enriches the ocean with vital elements for sustaining life, fostering the overall health and wellness of biodiversity. Enhanced green rock olivine weathering emerges as a multifaceted solution, addressing atmospheric carbon dioxide reduction, nutrient supply, and the mitigation of ocean acidification.”

Contemplating the vast energy potential harbored in ocean waves, which encompass 70 percent of the planet’s surface, oceans stand as an abundant source of renewable energy. The estimated potential of ocean wave energy reaches up to an astounding 500 percent of the current global demand for electricity.

Muja underscored the scalability and enduring nature of enhanced green rock olivine weathering, stating, “Achieve the capture of 100% of humanity’s annual CO2 emissions with a mere 0.1 utilization of shelf seas; this represents a permanent and impactful solution. The prolific wave energy inherent in coastal areas accelerates olivine weathering, leveraging the force of waves to crush the rock and expedite the natural carbon dioxide capture process.”

Sahit Muja proudly positions Albanian Minerals as the custodian of an unparalleled global mineral reserve, boasting the world’s foremost magnesium olivine capable of capturing 100% of global carbon dioxide emissions. This cutting-edge technology, currently in development, assures cost-effectiveness, scalability, and a lasting impact.
