Revenue model
- Carbon Removal Credits (CORCs): Sale of Puro.earth verified Carbon Dioxide Removal Certificates (CORCs) representing permanent biogenic CO2 removal stored via mineralisation or geological sequestration. Revenue generated through spot sales and long-term bilateral offtake agreements with corporate buyers. Credits priced at approximately $370-400 per metric ton based on contract data.
- CO2 Supply to Industrial Partners: Purchase biogenic CO2 from whisky distilleries and biogas plants, then sell captured CO2 as sustainable fuel feedstock and for food, cold logistics and pharmaceutical industries. Revenue stream established before strategic shift to permanent carbon removal.
- Biogenic CO2 Supply for SAF Production: Supply of 50,000-100,000 metric tonnes per annum of biogenic CO2 to CNF for sustainable aviation fuel production starting 2031, under partnership for Project Starling facility in Cumbria.

The Carbon Removers product offering
Product offeringCore offering
The Carbon Removers captures biogenic CO2 from fermentation industries (whisky distilleries) and biogas plants using its proprietary Nimmons900 modular capture module installed on-site with no capex from suppliers. Captured CO2 is liquefied cryogenically, transported in ISO-tanks, and permanently sequestered either via mineralisation in sustainable construction materials or via geological storage in the Danish North Sea, with the resulting verified Carbon Removal Credits (CORCs) sold to corporate buyers with net-zero commitments.
Product overview
The Carbon Removers operates as a unified carbon removal platform offering end-to-end biogenic carbon solutions. The core product is the Nimmons900 Carbon Removal Module—a proprietary capture technology installed at customer sites—which feeds into the company's carbon removal value chain. Captured CO₂ is transported via cryogenic ISO-tanks and permanently sequestered through two storage pathways: mineralisation into building materials (via O.C.O Technology partnership) and geological storage (via Greensand Future in the Danish North Sea). The company's primary output is Carbon Removal Credits (CORCs), which are high-quality, verified certificates registered through Puro.earth and Isometric, enabling organisations to meet Net Zero commitments including Scope 3 emissions. The platform also includes a proprietary Digital MRV system for tracking every molecule of CO₂ throughout the process.

Products and services
- Carbon Removal Credits (CORCs) Verified permanent carbon removal certificates (CORCs) representing biogenic CO2 removed from the atmosphere and permanently stored via mineralisation or geological sequestration. Credits are ISO certified, registered through Puro.earth (under Carbonated Building Material Methodology) and verified by Isometric, and are sold to organisations with Net Zero and Scope 3 commitments.
- End-to-End Biogenic Carbon Removal Service Integrated service covering the full carbon removal value chain: deployment of the Nimmons900 capture module onsite at fermentation and biogas sites, capture of biogenic CO2, transport via cryogenic ISO-tanks, and permanent sequestration via mineralisation in building materials or geological storage in the Danish North Sea. Designed for corporate buyers and CO2-producing industrial partners; no capex required from suppliers.
- Nimmons900 Carbon Capture Module Proprietary, ISO-certified compact and mobile carbon capture module designed specifically for fermentation sources such as whisky distilleries, breweries, paper mills and biomethane plants. Converts captured CO2 into highly pure cryogenic, pressurised liquid for onward transport. Easy to integrate into existing plants with no disruption, even at smaller sites with limited space.

The Carbon Removers competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- CarbonCapture Inc. US-based DAC carbon removal developer with multiple large-scale projects. Directly comparable on the engineered-removal commercial model, Puro.earth-style verification, and enterprise offtake agreements — though operating a different capture modality.
- Carbfix: Icelandic company specialising in CO2 mineralisation into basalt rock for permanent storage. Directly comparable to TCR's mineralisation pathway via O.C.O Technology and provides a benchmark for geological-grade mineral storage unit economics and permanence claims.
- Climeworks: Swiss-based leader in direct air capture and durable carbon removal. Both companies sell Puro.earth-verified carbon removal credits to enterprise buyers via long-term offtake agreements, but Climeworks focuses on DAC while TCR focuses on biogenic point-source capture — making them the closest direct comparable on the demand and credit side, even as their capture modalities differ.
- 44.01: Oman-based company mineralising CO2 into peridotite rock for permanent removal. Closest direct peer to TCR on the mineralisation storage side of the value chain, and a useful benchmark for scaling mineral storage outside of Iceland.
- Storegga: UK-based carbon storage and removal developer operating the Acorn CCS project and a DAC business in Scotland. TCR's CEO and CCO are both Storegga alumni, and Storegga is one of the most direct UK/European comparables on storage-led carbon removal. Overlap is especially strong on corporate strategy, geological storage access, and engineered removals commercialisation.
- Heirloom Carbon: US-based DAC company using limestone-based enhanced weathering technology to capture CO2. Directly comparable on the engineered carbon removal commercial model and the sale of durable removal credits to enterprise buyers with net-zero commitments.
Others
- Puro.earth: Leading carbon removal registry issuing Carbon Dioxide Removal Certificates under methodologies including Carbonated Building Materials. Not a competitor but a direct partner and infrastructure provider for TCR — relevant as the registry through which TCR's credits are issued and priced.
Emerging players
- Charm Industrial: US-based company converting biomass into bio-oil for permanent underground sequestration. Comparable as a biomass-based durable removal pathway competing for the same enterprise credit buyer pool, though using a different capture-and-storage modality.
