Innovation

Industry Problem

The startup aims to solve the high cost, energy intensity, and scalability challenges of Direct Air Capture by developing a more efficient, low-energy, and mass-producible carbon capture technology with minimal water use and zero secondary emissions.

R&D Focus

Clean Capture Tech, their Area of Research and Development is Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology for carbon dioxide removal, focusing on high-efficiency, low-cost, and scalable adsorbent-based systems with patented heat exchange plates designed for renewable-powered, water-efficient, and zero secondary emissions carbon capture.

Innovative Solution

Clean Capture Tech addresses carbon capture by developing an advanced, adsorbent-based Direct Air Capture system that uses patented Absorbent Heat Exchange (AHX) plate technology. This fully electric, low-temperature regeneration process operates with minimal water and zero secondary emissions, requiring significantly less energy (~860 kWh per ton CO2) than traditional methods. Optimized for mass production using off-the-shelf components, their solution offers a scalable, cost-effective way to capture atmospheric CO2 for permanent storage or reuse, aiming to reduce costs below $85 per ton.

Solution Effectiveness

Clean Capture Tech solution achieves a remarkable energy efficiency of approximately 860 kWh per ton of CO2 captured, which is significantly lower than many existing Direct Air Capture technologies. Their system operates with minimal water use and zero secondary emissions thanks to its fully electric, low-temperature regeneration process. They have demonstrated strong lab-scale results with this first-generation design, and their goal is to drive the long-term cost down to below $50 per ton of CO2 captured, well under the current industry costs that can range from $600 to $1,000 per ton.
