One year ago today Global Thermostat launched the United States’ first kiloton-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) commercial demonstration unit. Capable of removing 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (a kiloton) from the atmosphere per year depending on local climate, we call this module the ‘K-Series.’ Our team of over 30 engineers, technicians, and operators was joined by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, U.S. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Sarah Forbes of the White House Climate Policy Office, and corporate partners, investors, and environmental NGO leaders to celebrate the achievement.? ? We need to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere over the coming decades, and?this machine marked a significant milestone for us and the industry’s journey to gigaton-scale removal.? ? Since launching the K-Series, we’ve seen increasing global demand for Global Thermostat’s advantaged and advanced DAC solution and have been scaling in multiple dimensions to meet the moment: ? We completed a DOE-funded engineering design with Black & Veatch, Sargent & Lundy, and other industry leaders for our megaton ‘M-Series’ embodiment for climate-scale applications ? We commissioned our first ’T-Series’ containerized DAC unit - designed to remove from tonnes to tens of tonnes per year from the atmosphere and aimed at smaller commercial and pilot applications ? Secured our participation in several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) DAC Hubs ? Advanced a growing number of signature carbon removal and carbon utilization projects with a diverse range of aligned partners globally ? Establish strategic partnerships with both Tokyo Gas Asia Pte. Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation and launched Global Thermostat Japan to meet the growing demand for DAC solutions by leading Asian companies operating around the world ? Significantly increased our team of business leaders, engineers, and scientists with deep experience in industry and scaling revolutionary technologies ? Expanded our world-class research and engineering facilities in Denver, Colorado to enhance our ability to deploy ? And more! We’ve come a long way over a last year, and further we must go! We’re committed to contributing to the positive, sustainable, and equitable development of the circular carbon economy.?If you're looking to partner with a Direct Air Capture company to ensure this ecosystem evolves in a way that is good for people, profits, and planet, we’d love to hear from you.
