Imagine a machine that acts like a giant vacuum cleaner for the air, pulling out only the carbon dioxide. Instead of shipping this gas in heavy tanks from far away, businesses can make it right where they need it. It's like having a fresh water well in your backyard instead of buying bottled water from a store.
Greenhouse farmers and industrial users rely on expensive, unstable, and carbon-heavy fossil fuel supplies for their CO2 needs. This creates supply chain vulnerability and increases operational costs.
A modular, decentralized direct air capture (DDAC) system. It includes a 200kg prototype, AI-driven monitoring software, and a continuous operation capture process.
If you are a greenhouse operator dealing with expensive and uncertain fossil-fuel based CO2 supplies — this project developed a 200kg decentralized capture unit that produces clean CO2 on-site to boost crop yields.
If you are a chemical producer dealing with the high cost of transporting CO2 feedstock — this project developed a modular plug-and-play system that generates clean CO2 directly at the point of use.
If you are a facility manager dealing with wasted thermal energy — this project developed a system that integrates waste heat to reduce the energy consumption and operating costs of carbon capture.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not disclosed, but the project aims to make CO2 production more affordable by reducing reliance on expensive fossil-fuel based supplies.
Yes, the project is scaling the technology from a 5kg Alpha version to a 200kg commercial unit with a modular architecture designed for easy scaling.
Based on available project data, the technology is developed by Skytree B.V., a spin-off from the European Space Agency, but specific licensing terms are not provided.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2025-12-31, aiming to reach TRL9 and establish production processes within this period.
The units are designed as plug-and-play systems with an expanded control system that allows communication between the equipment and the greenhouse.
The project is led by a single SME, Skytree B.V. from the Netherlands. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the consortium is lean and focused entirely on commercialization and industrial scaling rather than basic research.
