Phlair is developing a pioneering electrochemical direct air capture system. It removes CO2 from ambient air and industrial plants. Using standard components and patented technology, it uses less energy than competitors, which ultimately promises to lower costs to below USD 100 per ton. The process is also ideally suited to be combined with intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Since its closed-loop mechanism splits a liquid into strong acids and basic solvents, these liquids can be stored as chemical energy storage. This means that the process can be powered by renewable electricity when available and cheap, unlike other DAC systems, which need constant electricity input.
