Heimdal pulls CO2 and cement-making materials out of seawater using renewable energy
You probably wouldn’t make this connection unless you were in some related industry or discipline, but Heimdal creators Erik Millar and Marcus Lima did while they were working in their respective masters programs at Oxford. The Heimdal procedure, which has been demonstrated at laboratory scale (think terrariums rather of thousand-gallon tanks), is roughly as follows. All in all it seems to make for a promising financial investment, and though Heimdal has actually not yet made its public debut (that would be upcoming at Y Combinator’s Summer 2021 Demo Day) it has drawn in a $6.4 million seed round.

The Heimdal process, which has actually been shown at laboratory scale (think terrariums instead of thousand-gallon tanks), is approximately as follows. Terraformation is a huge proponent of solar desalination, and Heimdal fits right into that formula; the two are working on an official partnership that must be announced soon. All in all it appears to make for a promising investment, and though Heimdal has actually not yet made its public debut (that would be forthcoming at Y Combinator’s Summer 2021 Demo Day) it has brought in a $6.4 million seed round. Heimdal has actually currently signed LOIs with numerous large cement and glass producers, and is preparing its very first pilot facility at a U.S. desalination plant.
