Delivering low cost DAC

Delivering low-cost DAC

Direct air capture is one of the best solutions for removing atmospheric CO2 and stabilising our climate. Airhives low-cost operations show how DACcan reach commercial scale and help the world decarbonise.

Low-cost modular technology

A groundbreaking DACtechnology, proven at scale

Our capture technology is based on fluidised beds, which are used in many other industries. Based on years of research and development, our application of fluidisation to DAC significantly speeds up the rate of capture. This, combined with our systems ability to recover and reuse heat, significantly lowers costs.

Airhive technology centres on three key innovations

[]

Fluidised beds, adapted from their use in pharmaceutical and other industries, help capture CO2 from the ambient air with exceptional speed and efficiency

[]

A mineral sorbent, derived from rock that is abundantly available but tailored specifically for our system, accelerates carbon capture

[]

An electric calciner separates the CO2 by exposing the sorbent to high temperature, while a proprietary heat recovery system maximises energy efficiency

Our technology

Costs

Our costs are far lower than average and will continue to fall

DAC costs today can exceed $1,000 per tonne, from the few facilities that are operating. Our costs are less than $500, and we will reduce costs further to sub-$200 in the long term.

Our integration of project development and technology development is essential for delivering low-cost DAC. The more we build the more we learn, and the more we optimise our technology the better we can build.

Your questions answered

What allows you to deliver commercial DAC solutions so quickly?

By optimising existing industrial technology, we have accelerated DAC R&D timelines and proven our technology at pilot scale. By taking advantage of existing supply chains, we can rapidly manufacture and deploy our DAC systems for large customers from 2025.

Why are you able to capture carbon at low cost?

Our fast capture process, enabled by fluidisation, is our key cost driver. This means we can use our industrial equipment more efficiently and minimise the space it requires, lowering capital and land costs.

How much do your DACsolutions cost?

The price of our DAC varies by deployment location due to differences in labour, energy, transport, and storage costs. Get in touch with us to understand pricing for your context.

What do your DAC systems look like?

Airhives DAC systems are modular units primarily made of steel. Our modular units capable of capturing 1000 tonnes of COfit in shipping containers, facilitating transport and siting.

How do your solutions impact their surroundings?

We have designed our systems to minimise impacts on surroundings. We use non-toxic minerals in our systems, and we have intentionally designed them to minimise land footprint and water use.
