The startup operates a pollution reduction as a service (PRaaS) model that captures, liquefies, and processes greenhouse gases emitted from industrial smokestacks into usable forms. This enables clients to reduce their carbon footprint and earn carbon credits, directly addressing the challenge of greenhouse gas emissions.

Problem
Industrial processes release significant amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere via smokestacks, contributing to climate change and environmental damage. Current methods for capturing and processing these gases are often inefficient or costly, hindering widespread adoption.
Solution
KLIR Sky offers a Pollution Reduction as a Service (PRaaS) model utilizing a patented Gas Processing and Liquefaction System (GPLS) to capture, scrub, split, and liquefy greenhouse gases directly from industrial smokestacks. The GPLS equipment connects to smokestacks, captures emissions, and separates the gases into pure forms through scrubbing and splitting. These gases are then liquefied using cryogenic and pressure techniques and sold for reuse in industries such as transportation, farming, and food production. This process enables industrial clients to reduce their carbon footprint, potentially achieve net-zero emissions, and generate revenue from the sale of repurposed gases while claiming carbon credits.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industries with smokestack emissions, such as charcoal production, manufacturing, and power generation, seeking to reduce their environmental impact and generate revenue from repurposed gases.
