| Directors' Report |
|
| The directors present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022. |
|
| Principal activities |
| The company's principal activity during the year continued to be the testing and development of CO2 sequestration solutions. The search of viable solutions has been widened to encompass not only methods of reacting CO2 with limestone to form dissolved calcium bicarbonate solution used to counter ocean acidification, but also reaction with metal containing silicates to permanently sequester carbon dioxide in the form of solid carbonates. |
| Cquestr8 continues to seek solutions that could be large enough to have a material impact on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The focus is therefore on scalable solutions which consume relatively low-energy and therefore avoid excessive demand for renewable energy. The use of silicates produces carbonates and other solid products which for which there are potentially revenue generating markets |

| Notes to the Accounts |
| for the year ended 31 December 2022 |
|
|

Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard). |
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. |
|
|
Investments |
|
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account. |
|
|
Debtors |
|
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
|
|
Creditors |
|
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Foreign currency translation |
|
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss. |
