Carbon 8 Systems

As one of the first major spin-out companies from the University of Greenwich, it is not just the innovative capture of carbon dioxide in the work of Carbon8 Systems Limited that is pioneering.

The company is also living proof of the potential crossovers between academia and business, and is paving the way for others from the University of Greenwich to follow suit.

The company was created as a development of the work of Dr Hills who patented a process using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) to treat hazardous wastes and remediate contaminated soil.

It has won the Shell Springboard 2008 national finals as well as the Kent Innovation Challenge 2007.
