Direct Air Capture (DAC)

Origen leverages the capabilities of limestone along with industrial technology to counter the emissions of CO2 through Direct Air Capture (DAC). The Origen Kiln is a proprietary mechanism intended to drive CO2 out of limestone using adaptable fuel sources, while the Origen Low Intensity Contactor utilizes basic structures to facilitate passive CO2 capture. An advanced form of calcium oxide or lime, engineered by Origen, optimizes this process by ensuring the material's high capacity for CO2 absorption. Origen's method aims to minimize the complexity and cost associated with DAC by employing readily available resources like limestone and thermal energy. By taking possession of the core components—kiln and contactor—Origen provides a complete and unified system capable of permanently sequestering CO2 for over a millennium. As the company moves forward in scaling its project deployments, it aims to offer a reliable and enduring solution to halt the negative impacts of climate change by reducing atmospheric CO2 levels.

The science is clear

In addition to decreasing emissions, we need to remove CO₂ that we’ve already emitted, to prevent climate change from continuing to harm our planet. And we need to do it now.

Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one of the most promising technologies to remove CO₂ due to its ability to verifiably and permanently sequester CO₂ for millennia.

But there’s a catch – DAC is currently too complex, too expensive, and not deployable at great scale.

Rocks to Removals

Our technology was designed to operate with today’s resources and fundamental chemistry to secure our future.

We combine the natural properties of limestone with proven industrial technology to permanently remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Origen Kiln for DAC – We use a proprietary design to drive CO₂ out of limestone. Fuel flexible; TRL 9 components

Origen Low Intensity Contactor – We let nature do its work by utilizing simple structures for passive CO₂ capture

High Performance Lime – We engineered calcium oxide, also known as lime, specifically for DAC and use Origen's proprietary processing to maximize its ability to remove CO₂ from the air

We designed a simple solution to minimize the risks associated with direct air capture. Here's how:

We own the full loop

Core elements of limestone-based DAC are kiln and contactor. We own both.

Our contactor is low intensity

Enabled by our optimized lime production and processing

We utilize scalable and cost effective inputs

Limestone and thermal energy molecules that are available widely and today

Our solution is permanent

Scientifically proven to lock away CO₂ for over 1,000 years
