World’s First Deep Mine Carbon Storage Project Locks Away CO2 for Millennia
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: The world’s first commercial deep mine carbon storage project has launched in Georgia, storing plant-based carbon underground and preventing its decomposition for millennia.
📈 One key stat: The Georgia project has already stored over 400 tons of CO2 equivalent and aims to reach 50,000 tons per year by 2027, demonstrating the significant scaling potential of this carbon removal approach.
💬 One key quote: “DMS Georgia shows that deep mine storage is no longer a concept. It’s operational, certifiable, and ready to scale,” stated Ram Amar, Rewind Co-founder and CEO.
1️⃣ The big picture: Rewind has launched the world’s first commercial deep mine carbon storage project in Georgia, marking a significant advancement in carbon removal technology. The project, called DMS Georgia, stores plant-based carbon 1.3 kilometers underground in natural oxygen-free environments that prevent decomposition and lock away carbon for thousands of years. By diverting surplus biomass like sawdust and wood offcuts into these anoxic environments, Rewind prevents the release of carbon that would normally occur during decomposition. This nature-powered approach minimizes energy use while achieving geological permanence at unprecedented efficiency.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This carbon storage breakthrough offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for permanent carbon removal that works with natural processes rather than against them. The project has already stored over 400 tons of CO2 equivalent and will scale to 50,000 tons annually by 2027, with certified carbon credits available in early 2026. Beyond environmental benefits, DMS Georgia stimulates local economic growth by supporting dozens of jobs and sourcing 70% of operational spending locally. By 2030, Rewind aims to remove one million tons of CO2 annually through a global network of sites, contributing significantly to climate change mitigation efforts.
3️⃣ What’s next: The first certified carbon credits from DMS Georgia will be available in early 2026, providing companies with verifiable permanent carbon removal options. By 2027, Rewind expects the project to contribute millions of dollars annually to Georgia’s GDP, positioning the country as a leader in nature-based carbon removal innovation. Rewind’s digital monitoring system ensures full traceability from biomass sourcing to underground storage for third-party certification.
