Problem
Current direct air capture (DAC) technologies face challenges in scalability and cost-effectiveness, hindering widespread deployment and limiting their impact on global carbon removal targets. Existing solutions often require significant capital investment and have slow capture rates.
Solution
Airhive is developing a modular direct air capture (DAC) technology that leverages fluidization to achieve efficient CO2 capture. Their hybrid geochemical approach enables the system to capture over 99% of CO2 in less than one-tenth of a second. The modular design allows for rapid deployment and scalability, aiming to significantly reduce the cost of carbon capture. Airhive's DAC systems are designed to integrate with existing industrial processes, providing captured CO2 for various applications, including carbon credits, food-grade CO2, and sustainable fuels.
Target Audience
Airhive's primary customers include businesses seeking to offset emissions with high-confidence carbon removal credits, companies requiring CO2 for industrial processes, and organizations involved in the production of sustainable fuels.
