🚧Lessons from the Field: 2,000+ Hours of DAC in Action🏗️   🎙️ This week, we had the incredible opportunity to return to 'This is CDR' by The OpenAir Collective and share the lessons we have learned from building and operating the first Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant in the Southern Hemisphere.   🔬 Our Co-founders, Duncan Kariuki (CPO) and Martin Freimüller (CEO), reflected on the challenges, successes, and key learnings from our journey so far. 💡As Martin highlights "We want to put our experiences out in the open so our space can learn together—how to bring low-cost DAC to the world."   🛠️ "Capturing CO₂ from air at 0.04% concentration and bringing it up to over 99% purity is no small feat. Every leak, every inefficiency, is a challenge we have had to solve—sometimes through weeks of trial and error" as Duncan shares. 🚀 With 2,000+ hours in the field, we are now focused on scaling and optimizing our technology.   🙏 A huge thank you to Christopher Neidl and Tank Chen for hosting us and to everyone who tuned in! 🔗 If you missed the webinar, you can catch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/dRT2pVFt #CarbonRemoval #DAC #ClimateInnovation #ClimateAction #Sustainability
