This climate technology company captures carbon dioxide and water from the atmosphere using molecular sieves, which are already integrated into established supply chains from other industries. By enabling clients to extract CO2 directly from the air, the company helps reduce their environmental impact and lower carbon footprints.

Problem
Current direct air capture (DAC) methods often rely on amine-based adsorbents, which can degrade over time and release harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. Existing DAC solutions may also be expensive, energy-intensive, and lack scalability for widespread deployment.
Solution
ZeoDAC utilizes a patented molecular sieve process based on zeolite materials to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and water directly from the atmosphere. The company's proprietary adsorption process employs a unique combination of molecular sieves that selectively trap CO2 while allowing other air components to pass through. Unlike amine-based systems, ZeoDAC's zeolite adsorbents are environmentally benign, robust, and do not degrade upon exposure to air, eliminating the risk of releasing harmful chemicals. The captured CO2 can be extracted with low energy input for use in various applications, including carbonated beverages, chemical manufacturing, or sequestration. The process also harvests water from the air, producing a stream of purified water as a co-product.
Target Audience
ZeoDAC targets industries and organizations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint through direct air capture, including those involved in carbonated beverages, chemical manufacturing, and carbon sequestration, as well as regions facing water scarcity.
