<div id="block-30745b48a54a44fc9ca399b40d63dfde" class="notion-text">
To prevent the worst impacts of climate change, the world needs to reach net zero around mid century. This means two things: slash global emissions from 60 gigaton annual to near zero, and remove CO2 from the atmosphere on a multi gigaton scale.
</div>
<div id="block-9ca131644d8c4637b48b7498cb510244" class="notion-text">
The last IPCC report estimates that 5 to 16 gigaton of CDR will be required each year after 2050 to keep global temperature increase as close to 1.5&deg;C as possible. Reaching such levels in just a few decades is a herculean feat and will require many approaches.
</div>
<div id="block-39ade032104b48e3a7c12e3e4102d2de" class="notion-text">
Direct Air Capture is compelling due to is low physical footprint, flexible siting near CO2 storage and clean energy, and straightforward measurement. On the demand side, DAC benefits from massive tailwinds, such as a $3.5 billion scale up funding in the US, a first billion $ acquisition, and a fast growing market for CDR credits and carbon negative products (e.g. concrete).
</div>
<div id="block-725e9e930f7e45bd96b033972990e7b2" class="notion-text">
However, first generation DAC technologies are very energy intensive due to the work required to separate CO2 from the sorbent. Current systems use 1,500 to 3,000 kWh per ton of CO2 - which is 10x to 20x higher than the theoretical minimum. At gigaton scale, such systems would require between 1/3 and 3/4 of the annual US power consumption.
</div>
<div id="block-6f5c44f4109b4f73a728cd9df90c68e9" class="notion-text">
We are developing a breakthrough process which tackles this problem, the most important to solve for gigaton scale DAC to become a reality.

We have developed a unique hybrid electrochemical process which is 10x more energy efficient than first generation DAC and 3x better than the most ambitious second generation technologies. At megaton scale, we estimate the cost per ton well below $100/ton.
