Sinkco Labs

At Newlab's New Climate Futures, we showcased our scale injector model, a key demonstration of how biomass-based injections create measurable, consolidated uplift - restoring coastlines while locking away carbon for millennia. This benchtop system helps us communicate our field work to partners and stakeholders, all without leaving our lab in Brooklyn. More exciting developments on the way. Stay tuned.

🌆 Come meet us at NYC Climate Week 2025 🌆 As we gear up for our North American pilot expansion along Louisiana’s coastlands, the Sinkco Labs team is excited to spend Climate Week (and a bit of the week before) engaging with climate experts, corporate leaders, angels, and institutional investors. We’re eager to both learn from others and share how our approach addresses coastal erosion while simultaneously delivering high-durability carbon removals. 🤖 On Thursday, September 25, we’ll be showcasing our technology at our home base during Newlab’s New Climate Futures event. 🌎 From September 18–26, our leaders will also be spread across the city at events throughout Climate Week. If you see us, don’t hesitate to say hi or feel free to drop us a DM or email to connect in advance. Sinkco Attendees: Viji T. — CEO & Co-founder VICTOR CHOQUET — CTO & Co-founder Daniel Babin — Head of Science Pia DiCenzo — Head of Engineering Hamilton Harler — Head of Partnerships We’re looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones as we continue our sprint to reverse land loss and carbon emissions. #ClimateWeekNYC #ClimateWeekNYC2025 #CWNYC #CarbonRemoval #LandRestoration #ClimateAction #TechForClimate #climate #climatetech #ClimateWeekNewYork  #CarbonMarkets #CDR

We have finalized a new BiCRS module: Marine Sub-Sediment Burial (MSSB). The module was developed over the past year in collaboration with Sinkco Labs, with scientific input from their lead researchers and independent reviews from external experts. It has been fully endorsed by ICROA, ensuring recognition against international standards. Marine sub-sediment burial enables the permanent storage of carbon by placing terrestrial biomass beneath anoxic marine sediments, a very durable natural forms of carbon sequestration. This methodology strengthens Rainbow’s mission to provide trusted certification frameworks that support projects in delivering long-term climate impact. Special thanks to Sinkco’s Daniel Babin and Rainbow’s Erica Dorr for their contributions to this work.

Together, Rainbow (formerly Riverse) & Sinkco Labs have developed the world's first MRV protocol for accrediting one of the world's most durable natural forms of carbon storage --- biomass below anoxic marine sediment. Read here: https://lnkd.in/dy3gEPeh Naturally, transferring organic material from land to the ocean floor is slow and inefficient, but Sinkco has the technology to efficiently, affordably, and safely place terrestrial biomass where its carbon will never again see the light of day. With a permit, proven tech, the right local partners, and a framework to sell credits, Sinkco is ready to deploy. Special thanks to Rainbow's Erica Dorr and Sinkco's Daniel Babin for pushing the protocol across the finish line.

In just 33 years, 81% of the marsh at Sinkco’s pilot site along Bayou Lafourche has been converted to open water. This haunting time-lapse captures the stark, undeniable, and urgent reality of coastal land loss in Louisiana. Today, Sinkco reached a major milestone in turning back the clock. Sinkco has secured state and federal permits — from the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — to embed waste biomass beneath the sediments of degraded marsh, elevating the water bottoms across 11 acres of wetland. Permitting is often one of the greatest obstacles for hybrid nature + engineered carbon solutions, delaying technology testing and MRV development for years or even decades. We achieved ours in just months by listening to and adapting to the needs and values of Louisianians. Their trust gave us the green light to demonstrate technology that will redefine how we restore coasts and remove carbon. For us, this is more than a milestone. Louisiana’s wetlands are not just habitat — they are heritage. Protecting them means protecting a way of life. Special thanks to our Head of Science, Daniel Babin, for driving this permit forward and leading innovative climate solutions in his home state. Now, the work of restoration begins.

🌊 Permanent climate impact starts in the ocean. We’re thrilled that Terraset has committed a seven-figure catalytic pre-purchase to accelerate Sinkco Labs’ marine-based carbon-removal work—alongside fellow innovators like CarbonRun, Deep Sky, UNDO, Eion Carbon, NY Carbon, Pyrogen, and Terraton. This flexible capital arrives exactly when science-backed teams need it most: before multi-year offtakes, while we’re still proving hardware, hiring talent and scaling field operations.  🔬 What it unlocks for Sinkco Labs • Deploying our patent-pending micro-injection system that places biomass deep in anoxic marine sediments—converting waste into durable carbon storage and coastal uplift. • Expanding pilot sites to validate gigaton-scale potential and environmental safeguards. • Generating high-quality measurement, reporting & verification (MRV) data to set new durability standards for marine CDR. 🤝 Why catalytic philanthropy matters Terraset’s revolving-fund model recycles donor dollars into future removals, multiplying climate impact and closing the early-capital gap that still slows many breakthrough solutions.  To Adam Fraser, Taylor Insley and the Terraset community—thank you for betting on durable, nature-aligned pathways. Together, we’re turning the ocean’s vast carbon engine into a cornerstone of the net-zero portfolio. #CarbonRemoval #MarineCDR #ClimateTech #CatalyticCapital #NetZero

🌍The Carbon Journal is a platform for project developers to share their on-the-ground reflections on where the carbon markets can best push climate action forward. That’s why it’s a pleasure to highlight Daniel Babin of Sinkco Labs and his outlook that, as U.S. funding for important coastal restoration efforts dwindles, it’s time for biomass carbon removal and storage projects to lead the charge forward. In his piece “From Crop Residue to Coastal Rescue,” he demonstrates that while traditional coastal restoration is costly and reliant on scarce dredge material, Sinkco’s biomass operations offer a more cost-effective, durable alternative — particularly in sinking coastal wetlands.
