Our mission

Arial view of an ocean coastline

CREW is pioneering a smarter way to work with Earth’s water cycle by first leveraging wastewater systems as a scalable, deployable solution today.

We empower the global wastewater sector to lead the fight against climate change.


Our innovative approach improves wastewater treatment, removes CO2, and lays the foundation to scale alkalinity-based carbon removal across Earth’s water cycle.
