CREW Carbon Overview


CREW’s technology and services make wastewater treatment cheaper and more efficient, while permanently sequestering CO₂.


Leveraging advanced chemistry, natural minerals, and AI, we’ve developed and are deploying a category-defining process intensification technology, with decarbonization at its core. Today, we help wastewater treatment facilities and operators:


  • Stabilize pH & alkalinity 24/7
  • Eliminate hazardous chemicals & cut costs
  • Avoid $100M+ infrastructure upgrades
  • Capture & Store CO2


CREW has offices and labs in New Haven, CT and offices in Brooklyn, NY.


We are funded by Counteract, ReGen, Ponderosa, Connecticut Innovations and others. We've secured large contracts with the premier buyers of carbon credits through the Frontier Climate Fund (Stripe, Shopify, Autodesk, McKinsey, among others) and have been selected by the Department of Energy as one of the few potential suppliers of high-quality carbon credits to the federal government.
