About us
We are reinventing carbon for a thriving planet. Since 2020, we've rapidly pioneered versatile Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to remove historic CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere — anywhere, at any scale. Supported by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the XPRIZE Foundation, Stripe, and the UK government, we've moved a brand new climate technology from lab to live commercial plant in under three years to rapidly empower carbon removal and utilisation pathways.

How much atmospheric CO₂ could be recovered by using surplus renewable energy instead of curtailing it? ⚡️ Research from the National Renewable Energy Lab in the US projects the annual CO₂ sequestration possible via DAC using California's excess solar PV electricity over the coming decades. Even under the most conservative solar penetration estimate, the sequestration potential hits the popular megatonne annual removal benchmark. Our technology is designed to work with, rather than against, energy intermittency, meaning renewable power can be harnessed when it’s abundant and at its cheapest.

Year upon year, direct air capture is rapidly scaling to meet gigatonne carbon removal targets by 2050. To hit this ambitious goal, new climate technologies and carbon removal solutions call for supporting legislation and regulation to get projects off the ground. In honour of #ClimateWeekNYC, here’s a look back at some major global carbon removal policy milestones over the last year: → October 23: The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) comes into effect, helping to combat the offshoring of emissions through the application of a carbon tax that puts a price on the production of carbon-intensive goods (think cement, iron, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen). → April 24: The European Commission, council and parliament adopt the legal text for the Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming Certification (CRCF). The first of its kind, this framework will become the gold standard of carbon removal legislation in the EU, creating a unified certification scheme for high-quality carbon removals and accelerating their deployment. → May 24: The UK government opens a consultation on introducing greenhouse gas removals (GGRs) into the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS). The consultation is a step towards solidifying policy that will increase the demand for carbon removal solutions and instil greater confidence in the regulation and quality of GGRs. → June 24: The Canadian parliament passes a new bill establishing an investment tax credit (ITC) for a cleaner economy. Between 2022 and 2030, expenditures on direct air capture are eligible for a 60% credit, and an additional 12% in the province of Alberta. The bill marks a milestone in the development of early-stage DAC projects in the region. What would you like to see next? #CarbonRemoval #ClimatePolicy #Sustainability #DirectAirCapture

It’s no secret that scaling direct air capture capacity will require a lot of renewable energy. That’s why we’re making our DAC technology’s energy requirement an opportunity for renewable energy developers. Here’s how designing DAC for intermittency and easy co-location can increase renewable project profitability and incentivise green energy production. ↓ #directaircapture #climatetech #renewableenergy #energycurtailment #engineering

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a feature of all climate mitigation scenarios for achieving the 1.5°C Paris temperature goal, alongside slashing emissions. By 2050, it’s estimated that we’ll need to remove between 7 to 9 gigatonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere every year. Today, annually we remove about 2 Gt. To make up that gap — especially as we stand to overshoot the 1.5℃ target — we need to scale CDR today. Here’s how powerful new solutions like direct air capture can help. 👇 #ZeroEmissionsDay #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #DirectAirCapture

With hundreds of ways to recover CO₂ from the atmosphere, which direct air capture pathway do you choose? For us, the choice was clearly electrochemical. ⚡️ With one of the lowest carbon footprints and highest energy efficiencies of all DAC approaches, electrochemical DAC offers a truly affordable and scalable way to remove masses of CO₂ from our atmosphere. Here’s a whistle-stop tour of the main electrochemical approaches, what they each bring to the table, and how we decided on the tech inside our first deployments. ↓ #directaircapture #electrochemistry #climatetech #carbonremoval #engineering

After a jam-packed two days, that’s a wrap on Carbon Unbound Europe 2024! In just a short few years, there’s already been a huge step change in the conversations we’re having and the collective progress that's been made. Working amongst such an inclusive, diverse and collaborative community, we've made strides towards our shared ambition to solve the planet's biggest climate challenges. With insights on the state of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from expert investors, buyers, climate tech pioneers and policy makers, we’re leaving with new learnings and a growing vision of what to expect in years ahead. Here's some of our key takeaways from this week: → ‘We need to treat carbon removals like any other commodity’ - Emma Parry, Partner, McKinsey & Company. We know we’re going to need carbon removal solutions, so we should be asking all of the necessary questions now, which will act as a catalyst to push the industry forwards. → Businesses interested in exploring CDR should set intermediary milestones that support the journey to their first purchase. Piera Patrizio, Head of Research at the Science Based Targets initiative, encourages businesses to set a neutralisation milestone on the journey towards Net Zero. → ‘We can’t let perfection hinder progress in this space’ - Joe Cruttwell, General Manager, Europe, Patch. → A portfolio approach for CDR buyers including removals on different time scales (those that deliver now, and those that will deliver in the future), spreads risk and opens the door to learning opportunities and price reductions ahead of inevitable spikes in demand in decades to come. → CDR solutions need to be high quality, adding brand value for buyers and coming with standardised and reliable verification baked in. → Early CDR solutions buyers are interested in co-designing climate tech, building confidence in a nascent market. → Leading buyers in the CDR space are capacity builders, helping others to learn about CDR, and allowing the most promising new solutions to grow, test and scale for future buyers. Thank you to Carbon Unbound for bringing us together this week. We know that next year we’ll have even more to reflect on, and to celebrate too. #CarbonUnbound #CarbonSummit #SustainabilityInAction #TechForClimate #CarbonUnboundEurope #GreenInnovation #ClimateLeadership #VCM #VoluntaryCarbonMarkets

We believe that to quickly scale something new, you need to work with what already exists. That’s why the fans and sensors found in our first DAC units are exactly the same as those used by indoor farming and HVAC systems around the world to move and measure large volumes of air. By repurposing existing components that are widely proven across industry, we have been able to rapidly put DAC on the ground — baking technical maturity into our systems early and ensuring the supply chains exist to enable larger deployments. #directaircapture #carbonremoval #climatetech #engineering
