Aircapture creates and scales modular Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems that harvest carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere for on-site application or storage.
The company fosters a circular carbon economy by supplying this clean CO2 to industrial and commercial customers for uses ranging from carbonating beverages to permanent underground sequestration.
Recently securing $50 million in Series A funding, Aircapture is currently focused on expanding its manufacturing capabilities to improve system reliability and reduce deployment costs.
