PFAS remediation is an ongoing and grueling battle as these toxic chemicals are incredibly hard to destroy. Most existing technologies capture and concentrate them, but then the trapped pollutants must move on for disposal or incineration. Now a few new options go further by breaking down these chemicals’ strong carbon-fluorine bond and thoroughly destroying them. H2Plus is one of the early companies to accomplish this feat.

Houston-based Vaulted Deep is using the deep, deep earth to store sludgy organic waste rather than landfill, burn, or land-apply it. That waste, mainly biosolids and animal manure, is converted to a slurry and injected about a mile underground to be safely stored for thousands of years—along with the carbon it contains that would otherwise release to the atmosphere. The enterprise’s technology is leveraged at two slurry injection facilities: one in Hutchinson, Kansas and another in Los Angeles.
