Our take
Climate change is a pressing issue, with CO2 being the major contributor to global warming. While reducing emissions is essential, removing CO2 from the atmosphere is also crucial. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies offer a promising solution to tackle this problem by extracting CO2 directly from the air.
Ucaneo is addressing this challenge with its DAC technology, which mimics the human lungs to capture CO2 using electricity and a special solvent at room temperature. This system is designed to be energy-efficient and compatible with renewable energy sources, making it adaptable and effective for large-scale CO2 removal.
Recently the company secured significant funding which will help it build a major DAC facility in Germany as well as develop its first industrial product. With this support, Ucaneo aims to capture 0.5 gigatons of CO2 by 2035, significantly contributing to the global CO2 reduction effort.
