PROBLEM FOCUS
10 billion tons of CO2 must be removed from the air annually by 2050 to meet our climate targets. Direct Air Capture is normally very energy intensive and expensive, with most DAC technologies binding CO2 through strong covalent atomic bonds to chemicals, which require heat to break it up again.
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
Ucaneo is pioneering a biomimetic Direct Air Capture technology. Their innovative approach combines solvents with (bio)catalytic properties and electrochemistry, resulting in a process that can be more energy and cost-efficient than traditional methods. Ucaneo's products are scalable modular units designed to remove ~500-1000 tons of CO2 annually. Their unique use of electrochemistry and (bio)catalysts, along with an interchangeable modular and scalable design, sets them apart.
