CO₂ Generation

Airthena^TM – A technology that produces CO₂ directly from the atmosphere.

There is a known market for CO₂ for industrial, commercial and domestic uses. Existing supply chains are limited by their point sources of CO₂, by their large and expensive fixed infrastructure, by long transport distances to end users and by entrenched supply chains, which creates monopoly-like terms of supply for customers. A key market segment, dry ice, suffers from significant sublimation losses due to delays between production and use.

We are developing a direct air capture (DAC) product based on Airthena^TM technology that can capture CO₂ from ambient air and convert it to pure CO₂ (a CO₂ Generator), integrated with a commercially-available liquefier and dry ice pelletiser to provide dry ice on-demand. It is compact, less expensive and can be located much closer to end users, thereby allowing disruptive supply opportunities and better customer value.

Airthena^TM technology uses novel Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) adsorbents as the core technology to enable the device. A demonstrator has been developed and will be deployed in the field for testing.
