Cheyenne, WY

Developing a Wyoming facility for carbon storage, clean water production, and lithium supply.

• Integrated solution: Combines carbon storage, clean water production, and lithium extraction in one system.
• Extensive research: Backed by 18 years of Department of Energy and institutional study.
• Strategic location: Wyoming site with ideal geology and existing infrastructure.
• Partnerships in place: Collaborations with technology providers for lithium extraction and direct air capture.
• Commercial readiness: First permitted well ready to drill with trials set to begin.

Vero3 is raising funds to advance its Wyoming project, which integrates large-scale carbon storage with the production of clean water and battery-grade lithium for domestic use. The project leverages a zero waste closed loop system that extracts lithium-rich brine from underground, creates space for permanent carbon storage, and produces clean water as part of the process. This system is designed to address multiple urgent challenges in the energy transition, including reducing carbon emissions, providing sustainable water resources, and supplying critical minerals needed for sectors like electric vehicles, AI, and battery storage.

Backed by over 18 years of government and institutional research and more than $25 million in public funding, the Wyoming site has secured permits, infrastructure access, and strategic partnerships to support its operations. The funding from this raise will help launch commercial trials, integrate the water, lithium, and carbon processes, and prepare for large-scale production. Vero3 aims to position itself as a key domestic supplier in three high-demand markets—carbon storage, water infrastructure, and lithium production—while contributing to a sustainable energy future and strengthening America’s energy independence.

Company Info

Vero3 is building a Wyoming-based zero-waste project integrating carbon storage, water production, and lithium supply, now raising funds to move from trials to a planned 2028 Nasdaq IPO.

Vero3 is a U.S.-based clean energy and resource company developing a large-scale project in Wyoming that integrates permanent carbon storage, clean water production, and domestic battery-grade lithium extraction through a zero-waste closed-loop system. The process involves extracting lithium-rich brine, producing clean water and lithium, and reinjecting CO₂ with waste brine into underground reservoirs for permanent storage. The project, validated by 18 years of Department of Energy research and over $25M in public funding, aims to store 3M tonnes of CO₂, produce 2.3B gallons of water, and supply 9,000 tonnes of lithium annually for 30 years. Vero3 has secured a 14,000-acre site with infrastructure access, technology partnerships, and a CarbonSAFE Phase 3 designation.

The company targets a combined $400B market opportunity across lithium, carbon credits, and water infrastructure. Expansion plans include commercial trials in 2026, product qualification in 2027, and a Nasdaq IPO in 2028 to fund construction. The raise will accelerate project readiness and position Vero3 as a strategic domestic supplier for clean energy, AI, EVs, and industrial markets.
