Leveraging scientific and industrial expertise to scale DAC

Having rapidly developed our core technology, our team is now focused on the development and delivery of projects. Scaling CO₂ removal is as much a project execution task as a technology development task, and delivering projects requires not just different skills but a fundamentally different mindset.

To meet this challenge, we're building a team of experienced projects managers, supply chains specialists, and technical and commercial specialists with decades of practical expertise in energy and engineering. Our team is growing to meet the needs of larger and more complex projects. Learn more about our team here.
