The Carbon Attack Filter

The Carbon Attack Filter is a Biodegradable Circular Economy Carbon Capture Filter Designed Specifically for Vehicles. It traps all Major GHGs which is then used as organic fertilizers in soil. 

The Carbon Attack Filter is a biodegradable carbon capture filter designed specifically for passenger vehicles. It traps hazardous carbon oxides, nitrous oxides and sulfur to lower adverse effects to public and environmental health by Trapping GHGs before they get into air. After capture,the waste from this cartridge has value and can be used to rehabilitate acidic/dying soil, improving soil for agriculture or reforestation. Road travel accounts for three-quarters of transport emissions. Most of this comes from passenger vehicles such as cars and buses which contribute 45.1%. How it works is that it is easily retrofitted to the exhaust pipe which allows for quick implementation of this solution. The waste we can up-cycled into stronger organic fertilizer or reused in cement production in a revolutionary application of a carbon circular economy using the waste as a valuable resource.

This Carbon Circular Economy solution effectively tackles carbon emissions/air pollution, soil degradation/deforestation in one fell swoop. This one product meets 2 global environmental challenges and 5 SDGs in a sustainable practice of carbon circular economy using one problem to fix another which all compliments each other.

The specific environmental issues solved by this product are global warming, air pollution, and soil degradation. transportation is the largest contributor to climate change, accounting for 28.2 percent of 2018 which amounts to over 8 billion tons of carbon and 29% of 2019 and continues to grow each year. Each car gives off about 2-4 tons of Carbon each year which has an adverse impact on human health especially for those with respiratory problems and cause over 4 million premature deaths worldwide annually. This innovation has a revolutionary dual application that solves not one but two global environmental issues. Soil degradation has been a long-standing and imminent threat to food security especially in third world countries that has unsustainable agricultural practices by local farmers. As we all know climate change is everyone's problem affecting the entire globe's effects on weather. Global warming leads to an increase in extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, cyclones, and rainstorms. Which will continue to occur more often and with greater intensity. Increased heat, drought, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal areas are additional concerns. And of course, Small Island Developing States are the first to feel the effects of climate change and are most affected. It is extremely important to solve these problems to prevent the deaths of people and animals as a result of these harsh conditions and to do it sustainably.

In our beachhead market, we have 600000 potential customers at a 19M market valuation. The US market with over 108 million passenger cars with a 2.8B market valuation worldwide 1.3 billion vehicles with a 40 billion dollar valuation. 

The intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has also deemed carbon capture as a necessity going forward. That puts it on the same level of importance as renewable energy sources and conservation. As stated, the transportation sector is the largest contributor to carbon emission levels. Hundreds of millions of cars all around the world contribute to accumulating to result in these large numbers and it is through accumulated effort and ratification to clean air policy using this innovation as a regulation it can be stopped.
The technology to target this market has not yet been established by any one company and Carbon Neutral Initiative hopes to do so. Carbon Neutral Initiative also aims to be socially responsible and venture into other avenues of climate-resilient innovations through environmental education and provide a platform for upcoming innovators and inventors and tackle other issues that require environmental protection 

Our innovation also has a massive scale up potential with a Business to Government market which is environmentally progressive countries seeking to profitably meet their Paris agreement commitments and our Business to Business market such a car manufacturers and companies seeking to decarbonize distribution chains 

We have done surveys with 220 respondents and interviewed 20 taxi drivers asking their views and thoughts on the filter. We asked if they have struggled with exhaust emission, the price they were willing to pay and their thoughts on air quality regulations

We found that most interviewees have been triggered by exhaust in some way .They are Willing to pay more than the expected price, the Gen Z and millennial generation are serious about climate action and they believe governments should do more about air pollution

We have completed prototype testing and stress testing and are in the final stages of beta testing and figuring out the most efficient and sustainable way to mass produce.

Our business model has been carefully reviewed. Most of the work we have been doing is business development because we are a group of scientists that have been more focused on research and development of our innovation and I am proud to say we have caught up to developing a solid business plan and partnerships going forward.

The Carbon Attack Filter is the first Carbon Circular Biodegradable Carbon Capture filter designed for internal combustion passenger cars. Core technologies powering the Carbon Attack Filter are carbon capture and storage, scrubber technology, smart filter technology, sustainable mobility, carbon circular economy and waste as a resource. 

The Carbon Attack Filter project is not yet launched its production stage. We are in the final stages of beta testing. We expect to reach our 600 customers through the coming year during our small scale launch. 

Carbon Neutral Initiative is a Cleantech startup found specifically to help battle climate change and help countries realize their SDGs through the use of technologies we provide and strategies we suggest. 

We aim to serve the greater good targeting the largest contributor to carbon emissions  to decarbonize transportation. Support the transition from high carbon producing technologies to net zero/ carbon neutrality. 

I plan to do this by calling on Governments to implement our technologies, public/citizens to join our Carbon Neutral Initiative and demand/advocate for change and also targeting businesses to decarbonize their distribution chains and operate more sustainably. 

Our impact is measured by SDG goals 

SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth- The Carbon Attack Filter is made using Locally sourced materials that are available in abundance and are of high quality. A high value product that is a need and in a virtually untouched market translates to a great contribution to GDP. This innovation Provide jobs in manufacturing, recycling, agriculture, Office Operations, Product Development and Research Development. 

SDG 9 Industry Innovation and Infrastructure. According to Market Research Future, The Carbon Capture and Storage Industry is worth USD 13.41 Billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 12.5% and is projected to be worth 800 billion by 2050. Funded by The Corporate Social Responsibility project of Carbon Neutral we aim to create a platform for future inventors , innovators providing research labs to ensure or spot in the technology production stage.

SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities – The Carbon Attack Filter was created to serve as a regulation for the clean air act. To improve quality of life in congested cities which passenger cars account for majority of air pollution According to The Center for Climate Change and Energy Solutions Cars and light-duty trucks (including pickups and SUVs) are responsible for about 59% of transportation emissions. We also are a part of the Climate Change Youth Councils upcoming initiative for green cities and green communities. 

13 Climate Action effective decarbonizing of transport, a regulation against transport emissions and passenger car carbon compliance 

we need funding to complete final stages of beta testing and small scale production, international patenting to secure our intellectual property and Law and Engineering consultation. 

The Carbon Neutral Initiative is a company founded to tackle Global Environmental Issues and help countries reach Paris Agreement Commitments and Sustainable Development Goals through the Creation of Climate Resilient Technologies and Circular Economy Strategies. We are the climate crisis professionals with the aim of decarbonizing transport. Myself, Damani Thomas founder inventor and CEO with 6 years experience in research Our COO Volentina Nicholson who  majors in communications and business also responsible for secretary competences and public relations And finally our Esteemed Researcher Aaliyah Noble also responsible for web development. Our company is female dominated and we intend to keep a special eye to keep that trend up supporting women in Science and Technology.

 We have carried out our field study using surveys to determine how well the public would take to such a product and have discovered that many people are interested in doing more to help against climate change and pollution Especially the millennials and Generation Z population Which is the dominant age demographic in most countries to which another marketing strategy is to set aside grants to take on other environmental issues as such customers will have a feel of their purchase making a difference in the mitigation of environmental degradation. As stated the market is everyone that owns an internal combustion engine vehicle which numbers in the billions worldwide.

Climate change's negative effects can be felt in the short term through natural disasters such as landslides, floods, and storms, and in the long term through progressive environmental degradation. The negative consequences of these occurrences are already being felt in a variety of domains, including agriculture and food security, biodiversity and ecosystems, water resources, human health, human settlements and migratory patterns, and energy, transportation, and industry, to name a few. 

Women are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than men in many of these situations, partly because they make up the majority of the world's poor and are more reliant on natural resources that are endangered by climate change. They also encounter social, economic, and political obstacles that impede their ability to cope.

Effects of Climate Change on Women

Women account for 80% of those displaced by climate change due to natural disasters. In the corporate world, women earn 24% less than males and hold only 25% of administrative and managerial jobs - 32% of organizations have no women in senior management positions. Only 22% of seats in single or lower houses of national parliament are held by women. Nine out of ten countries have regulations restricting women's economic options, such as those prohibiting women from working in factories, working at night, or working without their husband's permission. Child mortality dropped by 9.5 per cent for every additional year of schooling for women of reproductive age, according to a study based on data from 219 nations from 1970 to 2009. transportation emissions claims 4 million lives a year and put pregnant women in extra danger. 

Safety is also a major issue as climate change displaces women thus leaving them to stay in shelters that are not women-friendly. These situations create spaces for sexual assault and abuse. Women’s health is another issue that continues to rise as climate change develops. When these disasters occur, sanitation and water supply are often major areas of concern for women. Women will face reproductive health issues due to lack of clean water and many times risk their safety as in some developing countries, women must travel a great distance to obtain clean water.

How Carbon Neutral Initiative can reduce this issue

The Carbon Neutral Initiative is focused on creating climate-resilient technology. Our recent projects support lower carbon emissions. Carbin emission plays a major role in climate change. With our latest projects the Carbon Attack Filter and the D30 fuel, our goals are aligned with the following SDG’s: 3, 7, 8, 9, 13 and 15. The Carbon Attack Filter’s aim is to reduce emissions within the transportation sector with an internal approach of controlling or filtering the carbon that is emitted from vehicles. The D30 Synthetic Fuel aims to not only reduce emissions by creating a cleaner fuel but also create energy security in developing countries.

Transportation accounted for the greatest part (29%) of total U.S. GHG emissions in 2019, according to the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks 1990–2019. Transportation end-use sector emissions come from a variety of sources, including automobiles, trucks, commercial aeroplanes, and railroads, among others. However, it is noted that approximately 58% of the emissions within the transportation sector is due to light-duty vehicles.

Innovations have the potential to not only lower emissions but reduce these natural disasters that result in death and destruction. Economic development has also taken a major hit from climate change. By establishing energy security and creating a sense of sustenance within an industry that accounts for around 40 per cent of the world energy mix, economic resources can be allocated to other issues that each country faces.
