Sirona Technologies

⚡️ We’re hiring for our Kenya team and a Project Finance lead for our global operations! 🌎 At Sirona Technologies, we believe climate change is the defining challenge of our era. We’re addressing it by developing Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to offset hard-to-abate and diffuse emissions, and ultimately reducing global CO2 concentrations. 🇰🇪 Our first capture facility will be located in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, a region with ideal conditions for DAC. It not only offers the right geological formations for permanent CO2 storage but also abundant renewable energy sources. As we scale, our facilities are expected to catalyze further renewable energy infrastructure, contributing to enhanced energy access for everyone. ⚒️ We’re thrilled to begin building our team on the ground in Kenya. We’re currently seeking: ▶︎ DAC engineer (based in Kenya) — Oversee the operations of our first DAC machines on-site → https://lnkd.in/eDd2gMYV ▶︎ Head of Kenya operations (based in Kenya) — Lead the deployment and operations of our commercial capture facility → https://lnkd.in/eSARMdWw Note that both these roles will kick off in Belgium, offering a chance to quickly ramp up with the team here before transitioning to lead successful operations on-site in Kenya. 💵 To strengthen our fundraising capabilities for the assetco In Kenya, we’re also hiring for: ▶︎ Project Finance lead (based in Brussels) — Lead the funding strategy and execution for our first commercial capture facility, its scaling, and future projects → https://lnkd.in/e3MFiqGb 🦉 If one of these positions gets you excited, reach out with a brief description of the work you are the most proud of! 💫 Feel free to tag or share this with anyone who might be a great fit!

🚀🚀 Major news -- Shopify will be Sirona Technologies's first customer! We’re thrilled to announce that Sirona Technologies has been selected for investment by the AirMiners Kiloton Fund and Shopify for our first carbon removal offtake agreements. Using our Direct Air Capture technology, we will remove CO2 from the atmosphere, while partners like Cella will handle its permanent storage. This enables us to sell net-CO2 removal as carbon credits to Shopify, to help them offset their unavoidable emissions. Our team has been moving quickly, with four generations of machines developed in the last 18 months and a pilot plant set to launch in Kenya by the end of this year. We’re now officially open for business. If you’re also interested in purchasing carbon credits from us, please reach out directly at [email protected]. Business Wire story → https://lnkd.in/evRusGSW Special thanks to our investors LocalGlobe, XAnge, Syndicate One, Look Up Ventures, Satgana, VOYAGERS.io, AFI Ventures, Climate Club and more for supporting us on the path to speed and scale.

I'll be in London this week to attend Carbon Unbound Europe. At Sirona Technologies, we've built four generations of Direct Air Capture machines in the first 18 months of the company, and are now on track to deploy our pilot plant in Kenya by the end of the year. Our commercial launch is planned for early 2026. Feel free to reach out to meet up in person!

We have been selected to join the Google Startups for Sustainable Development program! 🚀 Alongside other sustainability-focused startups, the program will provide us with support from the team at Google, helping us with technology, growth, sales, marketing and leadership training. We’ll also participate in panel discussions and workshops led by industry experts. We look forward to leveraging Google's expertise and resources to accelerate our Direct Air Capture (DAC) roadmap and make a significant impact in combating climate change. #GoogleStartupsForSustainableDevelopment #SDG #CDR #CarbonRemoval #DAC #ClimateChange #ClimateTech #Sustainability #Rockets #HashTags

🚀 Sirona Technologies raises €6M in seed funding 🚀 We are thrilled to announce that Sirona Technologies has successfully raised a €6 million seed round, co-led by LocalGlobe and XAnge, to scale our Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology and deploy our first pilot plant in Kenya. Key Highlights: 🔹 Funding: €6M seed round co-led by LocalGlobe, XAnge and with support from Look Up Ventures, Satgana, VOYAGERS.io, Syndicate One, Renaud Visage and Bernard Hazard. 🔹 Mission: Tackling the monumental challenge of removing CO2 from the atmosphere to reverse climate change. 🔹 Edge: Applying rapid product iteration to reduce costs faster and deploying modular technology to a centralized plant in Kenya to scale as quickly and efficiently as possible. 🔹 Impact: We’ll have a first pilot plant in Kenya by year-end, a commercial plant operational by 2026 and a target of capturing 1 million tons of CO2 annually by 2030. Kenya is welcoming the technology with arms wide open for its co-benefits to local communities. 🌍 We’re living through very interesting times: Reversing climate change using Direct Air Capture (DAC) has gone from being fringe idea that would never work to being a key part of any climate mitigation plan. Priority number one is still to phase out fossil fuels to drastically reduce emissions by ~80%, but it will also be necessary to offset emissions that are too hard to avoid, and to clean up historical emissions. That’s where DAC will play a key role, to help remove 1 trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. That is a massive amount of CO2. The only way we can get there is if we act with Speed and Scale.
