Carbfix

Does the core business genuinely avoid or reduce emissions, or build climate resilience? Share of revenue that is actually 'green'. Fossil-dependent models score low.

Carbfix's core process permanently converts atmospheric and industrial CO₂ into stable carbonate minerals within two years, with research published in Science confirming >95% mineralisation; it currently injects ~12,000 tCO₂/yr at Hellisheiði and is scaling toward 36,000 t/yr with the Mammoth DAC plant, with the Silverstone project targeting near-zero geothermal power production — all of which constitutes genuine, measurable, durable carbon removal rather than avoidance accounting.

Credible, science-based targets (SBTi), a real net-zero plan with progress to date, and CDP disclosure — not just a dated press release.

No publicly confirmed SBTi-validated targets or CDP disclosure were found for Carbfix's own operational emissions; the company articulates a mission-level ambition to scale globally and contribute to climate recovery, but lacks the quantified, science-based near-term and net-zero corporate targets that institutional investors require for full credit.

Operational footprint, labour and social practices, and governance quality across the company's own operations and supply chain.

Carbfix operates predominantly on renewable geothermal energy in Iceland, has a modest ~60-person workforce, and holds no identified labour or governance controversies; however, the process consumes ~25 tonnes of freshwater per tonne of CO₂ injected (a known operational footprint concern the company is actively researching via seawater substitution), and no standalone public sustainability or GRI report was identified.

Quality of disclosure, independent third-party verification, and how much hard data backs the company's claims.

Carbfix's methodology received first-of-kind DNV validation and is backed by over 100 peer-reviewed publications; the University of Edinburgh published an independent isotopic MRV study confirming successful mineralisation at Carbfix's site; however, no public annual sustainability report, quantified Scope 1/2/3 emissions inventory, or CDP questionnaire response was identified, limiting the overall disclosure score.

Controversies, litigation, pollution, fossil-fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement and governance scandals. Higher means cleaner.

No material controversies, litigation, pollution incidents, fossil-fuel lobbying ties, conflict-zone involvement, or governance scandals were identified in any source reviewed; Carbfix's founding and funding trail is publicly documented, its science is peer-reviewed, and it operates under EU regulatory frameworks.
