Carpe Carbon

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere with innovative Direct Air Capture technology.

Removing CO₂ from ambient air using a patented Direct Air Capture system powered by waste heat, offering plug&play units that generate carbon credits or carbon-negative CO₂ for industrial removal, cutting OPEX by 90% compared to competitors.

The Problem

Industrial CO₂: the unavoidable waste demanding gigaton-scale carbon removal

40%

of global direct CO₂ is generated by heavy industries.

A Net Zero economy requires negative emissions on the Gton scale in a wide range of industry sectors. Hard-to-abate industries are challenged with daunting efforts for sustainability. Ambitious targets and fast decarbonization rates require more than avoidance and reduction: a reliable tool for Carbon Removal is needed as an essential disposal service for the last untreated industrial waste, fossil CO2 in the atmosphere.

THE SOLUTION

Plug-and-Play Carbon Removal: Turning Industrial Waste Heat into Climate Solutions

CarpeCarbon’s DAC solution leverages existing industrial infrastructure, using waste heat to generate cost-effective carbon credits and carbon-negative CO₂. Plug&play and non-intrusive, it integrates into any industrial setting without altering production cycles—accelerating decarbonization with minimal investment and ensuring financial sustainability.

The Impact

Cutting CO₂ with Heat: Efficient Direct Air Capture Powered by Industrial Waste

300 kWh

Used to remove 1 ton/CO₂ only, a 90 % cut in electricity use compared with mainstream DAC.

We pull CO2 out of ambient air in an extremely efficient and cost effective way using a patented process that leverages low grade heat (solar heat or waste heat) to regenerate our filters. CarpeCarbon’s DAC works both off-grid and coupled with industrial waste heat: we can filter CO2 continuously using only readily available renewable energy sources, without the need to convert it into electricity first.
