On a mission for net zero emission
Vision
We believe we can build a better future; where humans, technology and nature live in harmony.
Mission
To accelerate the transition to a sustainable future by using technology to support the carbon cycle, i.e. removing CO2 from the atmosphere and returning it to the Earth.
Pragmatic Engineering for Climate Urgency
We realize the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for practical solutions. That's why we're committed to developing machines that use proven technology to remove CO2 from the air, as quickly as possible.
A Piece of the Puzzle Towards Net-Zero Emissions
By working collaboratively, we can play a crucial part in building a more sustainable future and the restoration of our ecosystem. Most of our efforts to combat climate change should be focused on reducing emissions, but we also need to start scaling carbon removal now if we are to meet our net-zero goals as quickly as possible.
