Are you ready to save the planet? We will help prevent a climate crisis by freeing the world from fossil fuels. Our breakthrough direct air capture (DAC) technology captures CO2 from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel. The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for? At Greenlyte Carbon Technologies, we are scaling our DAC process and continuously evaluating how to make it more efficient, cost-effective, and compatible with renewable energy systems. As a Techno-Economic Analyst, you will play a vital role in shaping the future of our technology by supporting detailed techno-economic assessments and exploring synergies between downstream syngas processes and our DAC systems.

GCT operates a low energy DAC approach to capture CO2 while generating hydrogen as a byproduct. The process consists of 3 main process steps. Absorption in a liquid, precipitation and desorption through alkaline electrolysis. The technology is based on 15 years of research with relevant patent applications filed and working prototypes. The company was founded as a university spin-out by 2 serial entrepreneurs and an experienced DAC researcher.
