About

CarbonCapture Inc. designs and manufactures modular direct air capture (DAC) systems for atmospheric carbon dioxide removal, combining hardware manufacturing with carbon removal credit generation. The company Leo Series is the first DAC system designed for mass production, with each module the size of a standard shipping container capable of capturing over 500 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually. Modules can be connected in arrays to capture large volumes of CO2, and the system is available to developers of carbon removal projects worldwide. CarbonCapture DAC systems use solid sorbents that absorb atmospheric CO2 when cooled and release it when heated, with the captured CO2 permanently stored underground or used to make sustainable fuels, low-carbon concrete, carbon black, or other industrial products. The company modular open system architecture (MOSA) features deeply modular components designed for high-volume manufacturing that stack in nested tiers, allowing innovation within a level without requiring adjustments to others, enabling incremental upgrades that minimize obsolescence risk. CarbonCapture not only manufactures DAC systems but also deploys them at its own carbon removal projects, including Project Bison in Wyoming and Project Tamarack in Canada, allowing continuous improvement of efficiency, maintainability, and ease of deployment. The company generates high-quality carbon removal credits that are measurable, verifiable with third-party verification, permanent via Class VI injection wells storing CO2 for over 1,000 years, and additional. Named a 2023 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, CarbonCapture has raised approximately $115 million in Series A funding from investors including The Climate Pledge, Aramco Ventures, Siemens, Prime Movers Lab, Rio Tinto, Idealab, Neotribe, and the DOE.
