DACLAB
DACLab is committed to capturing and sequestering one million tons of CO2 annually by 2030 through scalable, cost-effective direct air capture (DAC) solutions. Our de-risked business model centers on designing, licensing, and manufacturing deployable DAC systems, enabling cost-effective, stackable carbon capture solutions capable of reaching every corner of the globe. DACLab was founded in 2023. Based in Palo Alto, our team of A-List cleantech professionals includes experts like Professor Klaus Lackner and researchers from TU Wien. Backed by visionary investors like Peter Relan and a diverse network of industry partners, we’re setting new standards for DAC—driving efficiency, scalability, and rapid, impactful results. We integrate Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) technology and commercially available sorbents and equipment into existing DAC processes, significantly reducing CapEx and OpEx associated with DAC projects. Our technology is specifically designed to meet the needs and eliminate pain points in the following industries: - Carbon offset project developers: Streamline your journey to net-zero objectives and generate valuable carbon credits with innovative, dynamic carbon capture solutions. - Sustainable aviation fuel producers: Access low-cost CO2 feedstocks from modular DAC designs that integrate seamlessly into existing fuel production facilities. - Oil & Gas Companies: Stay ahead of evolving emissions regulations and derive value from waste gas, lowering your carbon footprint while accessing valuable emissions-avoidance carbon credits. Our TSA technology has been proven at our TRL-6 unit in Austria, capturing up to 50 tonnes of CO2 annually in real-life conditions. Four additional projects are about to scale in the coming months and years.
