Innovation

Industry Problem

Carbon Capture aims to combat climate change by directly removing excess CO2 from the atmosphere.

R&D Focus

CarbonCapture focuses its R&D on modular Direct Air Capture systems using advanced solid sorbents. Their niche lies in designing upgradeable DAC hardware with open architecture, enabling continuous sorbent improvements and reduced obsolescence. They also invest in materials science, rapid prototyping, and design-for-manufacturability to scale carbon removal efficiently.

Innovative Solution

CarbonCapture is addressing the climate challenge by developing modular Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems that remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.

Solution Effectiveness

Each module in CarbonCapture’s Leo Series DAC system is equipped with 12 reactors, which combine to remove 500 tons of CO2 per year, with verified extraction purity of 98%. Designed for mass production and scalability, these systems support deployment at various levels, from pilot projects to megaton-scale carbon removal.
