Project description
Small scale CO2 capture solution
Carbon capture technology offers numerous benefits, spanning from mitigating pollution and environmental harm caused by industrial processes to providing industries requiring CO2 with more accessible, cost-effective, and cleaner access to it. Regrettably, most carbon capture technologies are still in developmental or validation phases and are not yet widely available. The EIC-funded DDAC project, led by the promising Skytree climate tech company, aims to develop revolutionary small-scale carbon capture technology. This technology could significantly benefit sectors such as greenhouse farming, which relies on CO2 supply. It is modular, easily integrable, and it also promises to reduce energy consumption.
Objective
Finalist of the 2021 KVK innovatie Top 100, with the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label, finalist at Connect22, winner at Japan's Plug & Play 2023 and spun off from the European Space Agency, Skytree is a Climate Tech company developing small-scale carbon capture solutions to produce clean CO2 directly where it is needed. The unique size of our decentralised direct air capture (DDAC) units opens up new multi-million opportunities in sectors where fossil fuels-based CO2 supply is increasingly expensive and uncertain, e.g. greenhouse farming (our beachhead market), CO2 feedstock, and many more. The modular architecture of our DDAC units allows the deployment of easily scalable 100% custom plug-and-play CO2 production systems, while waste heat integration will allow reducing energy consumption and OPEX. Our ambition is to drive the use of clean CO2 to boost crop yield while ending reliance on fossil fuels, thus guaranteeing more resilient, sovereign and sustainable greenhouse farming.
