Moving Faster to build Direct Air Capture

What we do
What we do and how we do it
We develop direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove CO2 from the air and combat climate change.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) is an innovative technology that actively removes CO2 from the atmosphere by passing ambient air through specialized chemical filters. It offers a highly promising solution for addressing challenging-to-reduce emissions as well as historical emissions.
Our Process in Action
In the first step, our machines use fans to push air through a specialized chemical filter known as a solid sorbent. This sorbent effectively captures CO2 molecules while allowing other molecules to return to the air.
Next, we heat the sorbent using steam, which releases the captured CO2 in gaseous state.
Finally, we compress the CO2 and transfer it to our partners for permanent storage in geological formations or conversion into other valuable products.

Our Specialty
Abundant, clean and cheap energy
We deploy to countries where we can leverage the exponential growth of solar energy for an abundance of clean energy that will get cheaper over time. We combine solar with heat pumps and thermal storage to generate even more heat, while mitigating the intermittency of solar.
Low capex
Thanks to our access to cheap energy, we can build simple machines with very low capital expenditure (capex) without having to optimize for energy efficiency. This approach significantly lowers costs and simplifies project financing. Our modular technology is completely built in a factory, not assembled in the field, which steepens the learning curve and brings costs down faster.
Fast permitting
We focus on locations where there is strong local government support, and where they can move quickly, to make sure we will be able to quickly deploy at scale.

Our story
We believe we can build a better future; where humans, technology and nature live in harmony.
To accelerate the transition to a sustainable future by using technology to support the carbon cycle, i.e. removing CO2 from the atmosphere and returning it to the Earth.
