Company Values
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.

Company Values
Entity Description
Carbon Collect Ltd is an Ireland-registered company and a subsidiary of Silicon Kingdom Holdings Ltd in the US. It was established to market the MechanicalTree technology, an invention by Dr. Klaus Lackner at Arizona State University (ASU) designed to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via passive direct air capture (PDAC). The captured carbon dioxide can be geologically sequestered or used in industries such as beverage, food, agriculture, and energy.

Technology Description
Carbon Collect's MechanicalTree is a 10-meter-tall column equipped with sorbent discs that captures CO2 from the air via passive direct Air Capture (PDAC). Unlike most other direct air capture (DAC) technologies, the MechanicalTree concept does not require fans for driving ambient air into the capture column. Captured CO2 is released via a regeneration process that depends on the sorbent type. The MechanicalTree is reported to have the capacity to capture 80kg CO2/day and uses location-specific sorbents. Carbon Collect states that this design has the potential to capture 1000 times more CO2 than natural trees.

Technology Description
Climeworks technology is based on a modular equipment system that can be tailored to capture CO2 directly from the atmosphere and generate a concentrated CO2 stream. Their approach includes multiple processes that utilize different sorbent materials, depending on site-specific factors such as average relative humidity and availability of waste heat. This allows Climeworks to provide scalable solutions that are customized to meet a range of demand sizes, while optimizing the efficiency of the CO2 capture process.
