Innovation

Industry Problem

HolyGrail.ai aims to solve the high cost, complexity, and scale limitations of traditional carbon capture technologies by developing small, modular, and easily deployable devices that capture CO₂ directly from the air using electricity.

R&D Focus

HolyGrail.ai is innovating in the niche field of electrochemical direct air capture (DAC), developing modular CO₂ scrubbers powered by 100% renewable energy. Their R&D focuses on above-ground mineralized carbon storage, where captured CO₂ is solidified into bricks and monitored over time, enabling scalable deployment and real-time MRV without the complexities of underground storage.

Innovative Solution

HolyGrail.ai addresses the problem of atmospheric CO₂ by using modular electrochemical scrubbers that capture carbon directly from the air and convert it into solid mineralized bricks. These bricks are then stored above ground, allowing for safe, permanent carbon storage without the risks and complexities of underground methods, while also enabling easy, real-time monitoring and verification.

Solution Effectiveness

HolyGrail.ai’s modular scrubbers are designed for lean manufacturing and rapid deployment with minimal labor, providing scalable and efficient carbon removal solutions. Their technology captures CO₂ from the atmosphere using electricity and permanently stores it above ground as mineralized bricks, simplifying measurement, reporting, and verification while ensuring safe, long-term carbon storage.

Product

HolyGrail.ai’s main product is their modular electrochemical CO₂ scrubbers, compact devices that capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air using electricity. These scrubbers mineralize the captured CO₂ into solid bricks, which are then stored above ground for permanent carbon removal. The technology is designed for rapid, low-cost manufacturing and scalable deployment, enabling efficient and verifiable carbon capture without the complexity of traditional large-scale systems. – Customer Reviews – NA

Star Product

Modular Electrochemical CO₂ Scrubbers, stand out because they offer a scalable, cost-effective, and modular solution for direct air carbon capture, using electricity to mineralize CO₂ into solid bricks stored safely above ground. This approach avoids the high complexity, energy demands, and permitting challenges of traditional large-scale carbon capture methods, enabling rapid deployment and real-time monitoring.

Demo Product or Complete Product?

HolyGrail.ai was founded in 2019 by David Pervan and Nuno Pereira in Mountain View, California. The company began prototyping its modular electrochemical CO₂ scrubbers shortly after its inception. These devices aim to capture carbon dioxide directly from the air using electricity, offering a scalable and cost-effective solution for carbon removal.
