"Skytree is among only a few companies in the world with DAC units already operating successfully in the field," said CEO Rob van Straten. "We are eager to offer industry partners a viable, economical pathway to turn atmospheric CO2 into valuable inputs - or to store it safely and indefinitely underground."
Skytree's technology is based on the carbon scrubbers used aboard the International Space Station, which remove the excess CO2 produced from the breath of astronauts.
The other unit, Stratus, is much bigger. It captures up to 1000kg of CO2 per day. Skytree designed Stratus for industrial-scale applications, such as for large greenhouses and green cement plants or for burial underground.
One, Skytree Cumulus, produces 20kg of CO2 daily. It is targetted at small-scale applications such as vertical farming and cannabis cultivation. Farmers use the gas to boost plant growth.
