How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)', 'Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

CCM empowers underrepresented groups in the climate movement by embedding inclusion, access, and local value creation into how its technology is developed and deployed. The project focuses on hard-to-abate industrial and maritime sectors that are often located in climate-vulnerable or economically disadvantaged regions, ensuring that climate solutions deliver tangible benefits to communities most affected by industrial emissions.

A key example is CCM’s planned deployment in Bridgeport, Connecticut, aligned with the vision of creating an “innovation corridor” that leverages clean-energy manufacturing as a catalyst for inclusive regional growth. Establishing a CCM facility at this site would support economic revitalisation in a historically underserved community through skilled job creation, workforce development, and local supply chain engagement, while also delivering cleaner air and water.

Women and people from diverse backgrounds are represented across CCM’s leadership and engineering teams. This representation informs decision-making and how projects are designed, implemented, and scaled. CCM also supports early-career scientists and engineers through hands-on R&D, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and exposure to real-world climate infrastructure deployment.

Through international collaborations such as Green Marine, CCM extends these principles globally, combining emissions reduction with skills transfer, community engagement, and equitable participation in the clean energy transition.

Mission Statement:

CCM’s mission is to advance green chemistry through waste-to-value carbon capture and utilization technologies that convert emissions into high-value, stable materials. By integrating capture and conversion into compact, scalable systems, CCM enables industrial decarbonization without deindustrialization, driving sustainable economic growth, creating skilled manufacturing jobs, and contributing to a climate-positive future.
