Carbonyx Minerals Inc

Carbonyx Minerals Inc. is a Vancouver, Canada-based climate technology, carbon capture and advanced materials company. Its process uses water and electricity to accelerate the natural carbon-capturing reactions of waste rock, recovering valuable constituents from the feedstock while converting CO2 into a stable solid for durable storage. The company frames the billions of tonnes of waste rock stockpiled annually by mining, construction and manufacturing as an underutilized feedstock with gigatonne-scale CO2 storage potential.

The company is developing a product suite intended to substitute for high-emission industrial materials: carbonates for building and infrastructure applications, high-performance silica (silicon dioxide), and recovered critical minerals for low-carbon supply chains. Carbonyx has also said it intends to broaden its portfolio toward critical minerals and rare earth elements. Bloomberg's company profile describes Carbonyx as serving construction, manufacturing and materials-processing industrial sectors in Canada.

Carbonyx is a University of British Columbia spin-off associated with the Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry, with a founding team of Douglas Pimlott, Adrien Noble, Mia Stankovic and Curtis Berlinguette. It joined the Winter 2026 cohort of Innovation UBC's HATCH Venture Builder program, which provides training, mentorship, funding introductions and access to office and makerspace facilities.

Founding story

Carbonyx was founded by Doug Pimlott and its technology was developed at the University of British Columbia, where the venture is affiliated with the Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry. The founding team is listed as Douglas Pimlott, Adrien Noble, Mia Stankovic and Curtis Berlinguette.

Business model

Carbonyx plans to produce and sell carbon-negative and low-carbon materials — carbonates, silica and recovered critical minerals — made from waste rock feedstock, with carbon removal embedded in the production process. Production is designed around modular systems that can be deployed near the point of feedstock supply rather than centralized, energy-intensive plants.

Sale of produced materials (carbonates, silica, critical minerals) derived from industrial waste feedstock; the process is described as delivering both economic value from recovered materials and durable carbon removal.

Traction

The company has raised CAD 1.2 million in pre-seed capital and plans to scale from kilogram-scale to multi-tonne annual output of carbon-negative material, targeting commercial-scale deployment within two to three years. It was selected for the HATCH Venture Builder Winter 2026 cohort.

Latest developments

In February 2026 Carbonyx was named among the 10 UBC spin-offs joining the HATCH Venture Builder Winter 2026 program. Its pre-seed round of CAD 1.2 million, led by WUTIF Capital with Spring Impact Capital, UBC Venture Funds and undisclosed angels, was reported to support scaling of production and expansion into critical minerals and rare earth elements.
