Our technology uniquely leverages Kenya’s abundant and currently excess renewable electricity and geothermal heat to power our DAC plants very cost-effectively.
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.
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.
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.

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.
