Airhive is co-developing UnionDAC to build a 60,000 tonne
‍DAC plant in the UK

Low-cost modular technology

A groundbreaking technology,
‍proven at scale

Our capture technology is based on fluidised beds, which are used in many other industries. Based on years of research and development, our application of fluidisation to DAC significantly speeds up the rate of capture. This, combined with our systems’ ability to recover and reuse heat, significantly lowers costs.

Airhive technology centres on three key innovations

1

Fluidised beds, adapted from their use in pharmaceutical and other industries, help capture CO2 from the ambient air with exceptional speed and efficiency

2

A mineral sorbent, derived from rock that is abundantly available but tailored specifically for our system, accelerates carbon capture

3

An electric calciner separates the CO2 by exposing the sorbent to high temperature, while a proprietary heat recovery system maximises energy efficiency

Costs

Lower-than-average costs will fall further

DAC costs today can exceed $1,000 per tonne, from the few facilities that are operating. Our costs are less than $500, and we will reduce costs further to sub-$200 in the long term.

Our integration of project development and technology development is essential for delivering low-cost DAC. The more we build the more we learn, and the more we optimise our technology the better we can build. 

Products

One product, multiple uses

We supply high-purity CO2 to companies seeking a green alternative to their industrial CO2 supply - and carbon market buyers who want highest-quality carbon removal credits. 

We also license our technology to companies who want to integrate a tried and tested direct air capture system in their operations.
