We are developing a system that harnesses the power of nature to establish a natural process that is the world’s best carbon capture and sequestration system.
Our Platypus systems incorporate the most innovative and exciting technology on the planet.
Our Planet Knows Best
We looked to spaceship earth for naturally occurring processes that capture and sequester Co2. There are many ways, from the ocean to forests, soils, to photosynthesis. There is no one silver bullet or answer. What we do know is nature holds the solutions and the key to our future.
The ocean is one of our planet’s most vital carbon sinks. Over geological timescales, carbon dioxide is in the air, and as the water naturally captures and holds the co2. Let’s explore, research, and develop the potential here. Phase one of the Platypus System
Photosynthesis is the natural action we are looking to copy, but how to scale this process? Let’s 10X nature’s power. Phase Two of the Platypus System
Stage Three of Platypus is taking the natural process, called carbon mineralization, to help minerals absorb CO2 from the ambient air in days, rather than years.
Our Approach
Designed for scale, engineered for impact.
The challenge is that the day before something is truly a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea. And crazy ideas are very risky to attempt.

Here Is Our Recipe For Success
The Team
The Carbon Rangers have mobilised a team, with not only the smarts required for the research and development required to find a solution to, lower the cost thats sustainable to capture carbon and sequestrator it for the millennium and beyond
Research and Development
In the face of overwhelming odds, we are left with only one option, we are going to have to science the shit out of this.
The Passion
It's more than just the science though. It's the passion for the mission and the project. The can-do attitude, and never say die that assures our success. Add to that a whole heap of bootstrapping and entrepreneurial ideas and we are destined to succeed.
The Result!
Our goal is to create a low-cost system to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. Then create products that truly sequester the carbon forever. Our process is sustainable and done in an environmentally conscious way. That not only cracks the code on Carbon Capture, but delivers a truly unique outcome for the broader community.

The Road to Ten Gigatons
Carbon Removal Scale Up Challenge
Instructions
According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), we’ll need to remove 10 billion tons (or gigatons) of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2050. Your task is to choose carbon removal approaches to scale up by moving the colored sliders below until you reach 10 gigatons. Monitor the effects of your solution choices via the five progress bars and “Scale-up consequences” panel. Keep your eye on the Active Goals list to see the requirements you’ll need to fulfill in order to win the game!
Active goals
- Reach 10 gigatons of carbon removal
- No dealbreaker scale-up consequences
Earth’s changing climate is a fundamental threat to humanity, but it’s not too late if we take collective action NOW! Human imagination and creativity can shape a brighter and more sustainable future. We’re so proud to be one of the many registered teams in the $100M @XPRIZE Carbon Removal.
