Direct Air Capture 2.0

About the project

Carbyon is developing technology to capture CO₂ directly from ambient air (Direct Air Capture, DAC). The captured CO₂ can be converted into a renewable carbon source in various ways. Net-zero solutions are made possible by using this CO₂ in processes and products, such as in greenhouses to improve crop growth or for the production of renewable synthetic fuels (e.g., for aviation). Net-zero solutions involve the permanent storage of CO₂ underground, for example in depleted gas fields.

During the previous Eindhoven Engine project (OpenCall 2020), Carbyon achieved breakthrough results in proving the working principles of the key components of Carbyon’s DAC solution. The current project (OpenCall 2022) aims to further develop this innovative technology and its key factors on an industrial scale.
