Problem
The increasing concentration of atmospheric and marine carbon dioxide presents significant environmental challenges. Simultaneously, hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and shipping require sustainable fuel alternatives to meet decarbonization targets.
Solution
Adept Aqua employs a proprietary process utilizing natural, non-electrified renewable energy to capture carbon dioxide from both atmospheric and marine environments. The extracted CO₂ molecules are then purified and supplied as a feedstock for industrial applications, primarily focusing on the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and e-methanol. This approach facilitates a circular carbon economy by recycling CO₂ and provides nature remediation services through marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). Adept Aqua's model supports industries transitioning to net-zero emissions by offering a reliable source of low-carbon industrial gases.
Target Audience
Primary customers include developers of sustainable aviation fuel and e-methanol, as well as agricultural, food and beverage, and construction industries seeking low-carbon industrial gas inputs.
