Problem
Vertical farms and greenhouses often rely on external sources of CO2, which can be costly due to transportation and may have a significant carbon footprint if derived from fossil fuels. This dependence limits the sustainability and circularity of indoor agricultural practices.
Solution
Direct Carbon provides modular direct air capture (DAC) systems designed for on-site CO2 extraction in vertical farms and greenhouses, eliminating the need for external CO2 sources. The Wunderpumpe product line, including the Aurora and Thor models, captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere, enabling circular CO2 utilization and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. These compact, easy-to-use units offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution for enhancing plant growth and promoting environmentally friendly agricultural practices. The systems are designed to be scalable, catering to a range of indoor farm sizes from small container farms to large-scale vertical operations.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes operators of vertical farms, container farms, in-store farms, and greenhouses seeking sustainable and cost-effective CO2 solutions.
