Business

Customers already buy calcium carbonate and calcium chloride.
CARBON-U changes where it comes from.

A staged business model: starting from proven C-PCC technology, generating first revenue from three oyster-shell products, then expanding to industrial by-products and CO₂ storage.

Demonstrated
BUSINESS 01

C-PCC Business

Calcium carbonate and construction materials from industrial by-products + CO₂. CARBON-U's technology-based business, backed by Regulation-Free Special Zone demonstration, 5 t/day production verification and supply to demand companies.

  • Customers: paper · textiles · plastics · rubber · PVC synthetic leather
  • Expansion: high-purity calcium carbonate (industrial by-products), planned for 2030

BUSINESS 02

Oyster Shell Business

First commercialization, starting from Tongyeong oyster shells. One feedstock, three products, diversified revenue.

  • OCC — demonstration and first sales targeted for 2027
  • Solid bio-CaCl₂ — planned for 2028
  • High-purity CaCO₃ — planned for 2029

Future Business
BUSINESS 04

Carbon Storage

This is a future business that leads from using process residue as mine-void and ground fill (2030 plan) to an onshore CO₂ storage business (2031 target). It is not a commercial business today.

Business Model

From feedstock to scale-up

01 Feedstock
Secure waste resourcesOyster shells · industrial by-products — materials that need treatment
02 Production
Product-specific processesProprietary process for each product (details not disclosed)
03 Products
Four revenue streamsOCC · CaCl₂ · high-purity CaCO₃ · fill material
04 Customers
Direct B2B salesPlastics & building materials · fine chemicals · de-icer buyers
05 Scale-up
Regional hubsTongyeong → additional hubs · multi-feedstock platform
REVENUE

Revenue

  • ① Product sales — priced by grade
  • ② Waste treatment fees — additional revenue (subject to negotiation)
SCALE-UP

Staged expansion

  • 500 t/yr pilot — measure the key assumptions
  • 20,000 t/yr OCC commercial line — upon passing the gate (2028–)
  • Three products → multi-feedstock platform (industrial by-products · incineration ash)
