Entity Description
Global Thermostat is a privately owned US-based company that is a pioneer in commercializing direct air capture (DAC) technology. The company has devised a method of extracting carbon dioxide from the air by employing a solid sorbent monolith with low-pressure drop to produce a concentrated CO2 stream. The captured CO2 can be stored or sold to producers of biofertilizer, beverages, polymers, and other industries.

Technology Description
Global Thermostat has developed a technology that allows for the capturing of carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere using a proprietary honeycomb monolith contactor. The contactor contains a sorbent material that selectively adsorbs CO2, which is released and concentrated through a regeneration process using steam. The technology uses low-value heat for regeneration and can reportedly recover up to 50% of the regeneration heat in some configuration. The process takes around 15 minutes for capture from ambient air and 3 minutes for capture from more concentrated sources such as industrial flue gas.
