DIRECT AIR CAPTURE
COMPANY: PHLAIR HQ: MUNICH, GERMANY CEO: MALTE FREUCHT
has developed an innovative direct air capture( DAC) technology that addresses the high energy consumption typically associated with carbon capture.
The technology, which is backed by Frontier( a group of companies including Stripe, Google, Shopify, McKinsey and Meta), uses an electrochemical process that eliminates the need to heat and cool capture materials, significantly improving efficiency.
The system can operate flexibly based on renewable energy availability, adjusting its energy use according to solar power fluctuations.
During peak electricity periods, it can partially shut down while continuing other operations. The technology aims to achieve energy requirements below 1.5 MWh per tonne of CO₂ captured – about 1.3 times lower than comparable systems.
