About CarbonAir Energy
The problem we're solving:
In response to climate change, carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) mitigate CO₂ and its negative consequences. With production costs of $600 per ton, direct air capture technologies are economically unviable. Additionally, the process requires numerous inputs and infrastructure, consuming a lot of energy. Considering this, CarbonAir is working on technology to reduce production and operational costs, as well as integrating CO₂ capture and utilization to generate revenue.Our solution:
CarbonAir Energy's solution is an innovative technology that stands out by integrating CO₂ capture and utilization. This process uses selective filters produced from waste from the food and fishing industries. CarbonAir Energy's approach not only combines CO₂ capture and utilization but also promotes the recycling of organic waste, contributing to the circular economy and reducing environmental impact.Our differentiator:
CarbonAir Energy's standout feature is its integrated, sustainable approach to CO₂ capture and utilization. They develop advanced technologies for capturing CO₂ from air and stationary sources, converting it into valuable products like carbonates, chemicals, and synthetic fuels. They also use selective filters made from food and fishing industry waste, promoting material recycling and the circular economy.Our biggest achievement:
Recently, CarbonAir Energy signed two contracts to conduct proof of concept (POC) projects with companies, one POC focused on CO₂ capture and mineralization, and the other aimed at converting CO₂ into sustainable aviation fuel.Disclaimer:
