Direct Air Capture is a technology that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air with an engineered, mechanical system. Our Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology does this by pulling in atmospheric air, then through a series of chemical reactions, extracts the carbon dioxide (CO2) from it while returning the rest of the air to the environment. This is what plants and trees do every day as they photosynthesize, except Direct Air Capture technology does it much faster, with a smaller land footprint, and delivers the carbon dioxide in a pure, compressed form that can then be stored underground or reused.

Geological storage is the process of injecting and storing CO2 deep underground in geological reservoirs. Geological carbon dioxide storage, also known as carbon sequestration, has been used safely and effectively by industry for decades, with more than 200 million tonnes of CO2 successfully stored in geological sites all over the world. Leading international bodies, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), have assessed this practice and concluded that when storage sites are properly regulated, selected, and managed, CO2 can be stored permanently for millions of years with very low risk. Suitable locations for carbon storage exist in many regions around the globe and collectively have the capacity to store hundreds of years of CO2 emissions underground.
