What They Do
RepAir has developed a direct CO₂ separation technology that promises to deliver Direct Air Capture at record-low energy costs.. Inspired by fuel cell designs, their DAC modular is powered only by electricity and can operate as just one small unit or many stacked together. This makes low cost direct air capture accessible to a whole new range of customers and settings.

RepAir expects to be able to deliver DAC for as little as 600kWh/tCO₂ at scale - performance few, competitive solutions can get close to. The fact that they do this without high pressures, temperatures, pH swings or toxic sorbents makes their solution all the more exceptional…
