Carbon Containment Lab

The Carbon Containment Lab is a 501(c)(3) climate nonprofit supporting the design, testing, and implementation of novel and neglected climate solutions. We address the urgent need to bring research from laboratories into the real world, from pilot to commercialization. Our work spans three emissions pathways: anthropogenic, biologic, and geologic. Currently, our staff are working on projects including biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS), carbon mineralization, fluorocarbon recovery and abatement, and low-concentration methane measurement. We have a strong focus on carbon removal, durable carbon storage, and short-lived climate pollutants. We are proud to maintain a broad network of collaborators, including other nonprofits and NGOs, national laboratories, companies, and staff and faculty at Yale University. We currently operate as an independent nonprofit after spinning out of the Yale School of the Environment in early 2024.
