Why do we need direct air capture (DAC)?

It is international scientific consensus that carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) emissions need to reach net-zero no later than 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C. To avert the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, cutting CO₂ emissions is essential. But it isn’t enough. We also need technologies that remove existing CO₂. Even if the world hits all its emissions reduction targets, we still need to take out ~20bn tonnes of CO₂ every year to prevent catastrophic environmental impacts.

How is DAC different from CCS?

Direct air capture (DAC) is the process of capturing CO₂ from the ambient air which makes it a highly scalable approach. Our approach allows for the amount of CO₂ removed to be easily measured and verified. Both the amount of chemicals used for capture and the weight of output can be calculated. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a way of reducing carbon emissions from industrial processes in hard-to-abate sectors such as the manufacturing of ethanol, fertilizers, steel, and cement. Carbon capture and storage from their point source of CO₂ may be necessary to significantly reduce their emissions and avoid longer timelines for decarbonization.

How do you store the CO₂ you capture through DAC?

We store the carbon captured in a mineralized form. Mineral carbonates, such as calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), minimize impacts on the local ecosystems by reducing the risk of leakage and permanently sequestering carbon dioxide for thousands of years .

Clients

Carbon removal as part of your net-zero strategy

Your business will most likely need to purchase carbon removals to reach your net-zero goals. The demand is rising while the supply of permanent carbon removal solutions remains limited. Capture6 can help your business reach even the most ambitious targets through permanent and irreversible carbon removal. We can help you affordably remove your residual CO₂ emissions, confidently meet shareholder expectations, and avoid potential profit losses in the future.

Why Work with Capture6

Affordability

The social costs of carbon are very high and the costs of direct air capture (DAC) must be benchmarked against the costs of inaction. At a cost of less than $100 USD per tonne of CO₂ captured, we set a new standard for affordability. We can help you reach your short and long term goals and adapt to your changing emissions profile over time.

Shareholder expectations

Our direct air capture (DAC), in line with the Oxford Offsetting principles, is permanent and irreversible, providing maximum credibility for your business. We can meet ambitious carbon removal targets while ensuring a clear accounting trail. In addition, our approach supports climate and social justice by improving local air quality, increasing potable and irrigation water resources, creating clean jobs, and using brownfield and non-arable lands.

Profit loss avoidance

The demand & cost of carbon offsets are rising. International policy is progressing towards more permanent carbon sequestration solutions evident by the establishment of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (IC-VCM). Our approach for direct air capture and carbon removal is a long term solution that overcomes the challenges of cost, scalability and permanence.

You have the power to make a difference. With Capture6, you can support technology that’s designed for minimum risk and maximum impact, including co-benefits for communities and the environment. And you can trust that your actions will matter, because ours isn’t a solution just for the future — it’s a solution that can be deployed today.

Discovery call

We’ll discuss your specific situation and needs, answering initial questions on our process.

Proposal development

You’ll receive a unique project proposal matching your business requirements.

Iteration

We’ll fine tune our initial proposal based on your feedback to best suit your needs.

Reports

We’ll provide a transparent and verifiable chain of custody and ledger that prevent double-counting.

Carbon offsets aren’t carbon removal

Most carbon offset programs are structured around reducing future CO₂emissions. That’s very different from actively removing existing CO₂ from the atmosphere. And many offset programs are hard to verify because they:

Assume the emissions reductions would not have happened anyway
Provide no guarantee of permanence
Often lack third-party review and verification to make sure the offsets are real and achieved responsibly

Why Capture6

Our CDR solution is not about us, it’s about future generations. The decisions we make today are the building blocks of our future.

Net-Zero

Focusing on both mitigation and adaptation solutions is the best way to fight against the effects of climate change.
