Reversing Climate Change | Ending the Fossil Fuel Age | In Kenya.

What we do
The climate science is clear – we have left it too late to cut humanity’s carbon emissions. We now have to remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air every year, by 2050.
Direct Air Capture leverages technology to filter CO2 directly from air, which can then be permanently stored underground or turned into climate-neutral carbon products, such as sustainable aviation fuels.
Company's story
Our Specialty
Kenya is the world’s best place for DAC
ENERGY
Our technology uniquely leverages Kenya’s abundant and currently excess renewable electricity and geothermal heat to power our DAC plants very cost-effectively
TALENT
Kenya has a young and innovative population that experiences the ravages of climate change firsthand, and so, has a strong incentive to fix this problem.
GEOLOGY
The Kenyan Rift is rich in basaltic rock that combines very easily with carbon dioxide. Once injected into basaltic rock, carbon dioxide is stored permanently for thousands of years, with no adverse effects to the environment around it.
CLIMATE JUSTICE
Like most African countries, Kenya is disproportionately affected climate change, despite contributing the least to it. Cost-effective DAC gives Kenyans a chance to create widespread prosperity from its natural endowments, which is also highly aligned with Kenya's development policy.

Our story
Octavia Carbon is Global South’s first Direct Air Capture (DAC) company.
We aim to leverage Kenya’s geothermal energy, geology, and talent to radically accelerate DAC down the cost curve.
Our aim is to make Kenya the world’s cost-effective hub to build and deploy DAC machines by 2025.
