GigaDAC

Thanks again to Greentown Labs for organizing such an engaged event as part of Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week. Always fun to share the work of our GigaDAC team developing deployable DAC units, lowering the cost of airflow by a factor of 10.

We are less than two weeks out from the inaugural Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week! Capgemini is a proud sponsor of one of the week's anchor events: The Climatetech Innovation Festival taking place at Greentown Labs on Sept 11th. Join leaders from industry, academia, and the public sector to celebrate the journeys and impact of startups and universities in mitigating climate change and building resilient communities.

Today’s direct-air-capture (DAC) technologies move air through a filter, which creates a significant amount of resistance—but GigaDAC has developed a fundamentally different way to extract CO2 from the atmosphere. Instead, the startup uses a spray that binds to CO2 molecules—a system that is six times more efficient, in terms of airflow resistance, than the filter method. The lower resistance means air can pass through faster, meaning the entire system is more efficient and thus more economically viable. “The heart and soul of our innovation is orienting the spray to be effective at capturing CO2, and then secondly removing that spray at right next to 100 percent efficacy, and doing so with low pressure drop,” says founder Harrison Rice. Now, the startup is raising its seed round while building a commercial-scale pilot. Learn more about this Greentown Houston startup: https://lnkd.in/eFbxqVd6
