🌟 Two years ago, Octavia Carbon was just a bold idea conceived on a kitchen table. Martin, Duncan, and Mike dared to believe that Kenya's unique talent, geology, and energy resources could revolutionize the Direct Air Capture (DAC) industry.   📈 Today, that dream has taken remarkable shape. Our team has grown to include 59 passionate and talented innovators committed to building and deploying world-class DAC technology right here in Kenya. With 8 large-scale DAC machines already operational, we are now gearing up to launch our pilot DAC Storage plant, the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, later this year.   🙏 This incredible journey would not have been possible without our team's dedication and tireless efforts. A heartfelt thank you to our Founder and CEO, Martin, for keeping the flame alive even during the most challenging times. Kudos to our leadership team – Duncan, Mike, Fiona, Diana, and Mwangi – for fostering a collaborative spirit and guiding us with a clear vision through every obstacle.   🚀 Our incredible journey wouldn't be possible without the backing of generous partners to whom we would like to extend our sincere gratitude. Thank you, Catalyst Fund, Renew Capital, Collaborative Fund, and YouWeb Incubator, for your continued support that fuels our growth.   🌍Shoutout to Milkywire, Klarna, WRLD Foundation, Klimate.co, Terraset, Climacrux, SQUAKE, and our other incredible customers for believing in our mission and joining us on this journey of creating a sustainable future.   🔬Science thrives on collaboration, and we are immensely grateful for the expertise and guidance of our esteemed research network and consultants: Synergetic Development Group (SDG) – Consulting, Energy & Infrastructure, Surface Measurement Systems, European Institute of Membranes of Montpellier/France, Climate Patent Collective, TLV CORPORATION, Georgia Institute of Technology DirACC, and Kenyatta University National Phytotherapeutic Research Centre.   ⚡The future of DAC is here, and it's taking flight in Kenya!
