Putting Atmospheric CO2 to Work
About us
Aircapture is creating a circular commercial carbon economy utilizing novel Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. Our modular, on-site DAC machines capture CO2 from the atmosphere and make it immediate available for our customers' production processes. The result is a cheaper, cleaner and greener supply of CO2. Previously, commercially available CO2 was produced and distributed only in ways that generate large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, result in product impurities and include the often-substantial friction costs from transportation. For every tonne of delivered CO2, we estimate two or more tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and creating significant supply chain emissions, the cost of which are likely to materially increase. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is not enough to avoid catastrophic climate change. Atmospheric carbon dioxide removal addresses legacy emissions and drives the development of critical, sustainable carbon-negative infrastructure. By utilizing atmospheric CO2, we can actually turn back the hands of time – reversing much of the damage that has already been done – while enabling our customers to economically build new carbon-to-value industries and alleviate energy poverty on a global scale. Our mission is to use Direct Air Capture (DAC) to help achieve these goals. DAC can be sited practically anywhere. There are no natural or technical limits to its scale, the quantity of carbon dioxide it removes is verifiable and it is cost-effective today.

At Aircapture we’re on a mission to reshape how the industry approaches CO₂—both as a vital industrial commodity and a critical component in the fight against climate change. In the latest episode of the Catching Carbon Podcast (Ep. #32), recorded live at the gasworld US CO₂ Summit, our CEO Matt Atwood discussed the future of CO₂ supply and how disruptive solutions like DAC are addressing both environmental and market challenges. With traditional CO₂ sources facing supply disruptions of up to 30% over the next five years, the time for alternatives is NOW. Aircapture is proud to be at the forefront, providing modular, scalable CO₂ capture solutions that empower businesses to reduce emissions and meet sustainability goals. By capturing CO₂ directly from the atmosphere and delivering it on-site, we’re not just closing the carbon loop—we’re enabling industries to move closer to net-zero and secure their CO₂ needs sustainably. Thank you to Elena Nikonova, PhD and Michael Laucius for an engaging panel discussion, and to hosts Jeff Holyoak and Luke Lana for supporting the transition to a cleaner, more resilient future. The road to scalable, alternative CO₂ supply is challenging, but together, we’re paving the way for a more sustainable world. #CO2Capture #Sustainability #NetZero #Aircapture #CO2Supply #DAC

Thank you CARBON CAPTURE SUMMIT for a speaking opportunity this year with our very own Michael Vyvoda. In addition to the critical need of gigaton-level sequestration, the near term benefits of deploying modular, low cost Direct Air Capture solutions help companies decrease their Scope 1 and 3 emissions while de-risking their CO2 supply. Discussing Aircapture's role in both the sequestration and utilization markets was an absolute pleasure. Thank you to moderator Preshit Gawade, PhD, MBA and fellow panelists Diana Khandilyan, Matt McCulloch and Peter Marrin. #directaircapture #dac #cdr #carboncapturesummit2024 #climateconference #aircapture #climatetech #cdr #netzero #carbonutilization

The latest @BCG report highlights the transformative potential of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies, projecting a market worth up to $1.4 trillion annually by 2050. 1. Our analysis indicates the market will grow from $640 million to $1.4 trillion, reflecting a +25% CAGR growth. Durable CDR removal is set to be one of the fastest-growing markets over the next two decades. 2. CDR can be utilized in concrete production, synthetic fuels, chemical feedstock, the food and beverage industry, and enhanced oil recovery, showcasing its broad industrial impact. 3. With advancements in technology and economies of scale, CDR costs could drop to $100 per ton of CO2 by 2030, making it more affordable and less than 10% of the current societal cost of carbon emissions. 4. The industry is on the critical path to being project financeable. Strong policy frameworks, including carbon pricing and government investments, are crucial to boost the adoption of CDR technologies. 5. Developing a strong workforce globally to support these projects will become a major engine of economic growth locally, providing high-quality jobs, training, and skill sets applicable worldwide.

The recent "The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal — Edition 2" report highlights the eminent need of science based technologies for carbon removal to reach net zero. Here are a few key takeaways from the report: 1. Rapid emission reductions and a near-term scale-up of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) are necessary to meet the Paris Agreement's temperature goals. The report highlights the need for 7-9 GtCO2 removals per year by 2050, with cumulative removals of 170 GtCO2 between 2020 and net-zero CO2. 2. CDR deployment is currently low but expected to grow. Research grants, publications, and high-value inventions related to CDR have increased significantly, indicating growing innovation. However, challenges like financial bottlenecks and scientific uncertainties hinder scaling up CDR. 3. Companies have announced ambitious plans for scaling up novel CDR methods like direct air capture and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. These announcements project removing up to 11 GtCO2 annually by 2050, implying a 40% compound annual growth rate. You can read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/d97fNnEE
