Carbon Collect's MechanicalTree™: Redefining Direct Air Capture
Carbon Collect is a pioneer in the battle against carbon emissions. The company’s cutting edge technology, the MechanicalTree™, represents a new paradigm for Direct Air Capture (DAC). The company is the first to prove passive collection of CO2 from ambient air in a Direct Air Capture system – negating the need for energy intensive forced convection employed in all other DAC solutions. We refer to this as Passive Direct Air Capture, or PDAC.
With the MechanicalTree™, we have set a new benchmark in capturing CO2 from the atmosphere. By dispensing with energy-intensive forced convection techniques and harnessing wind delivery, we have revolutionized the field of Direct Air Capture. This unique approach offers a more sustainable and efficient method for combating climate change.
Designed and engineered by Carbon Collect, the MechanicalTree™ stands as a testament to our commitment to innovation. Overcoming significant limitations in other Direct Air Capture (DAC) approaches, our modular technology sets new benchmarks for scalability (gigaton capable) and energy efficiency.
Nearly 30 Years of Research
Carbon Collect was formed to contribute in a meaningful way to the challenge of climate change mitigation. The company's R&D and engineering program has combined to deliver major advances in Direct Air Capture. Carbon Collect benefits from US Federal funding to help accelerate the deployment and scaling of Direct Air Capture. The company enjoys a close relationship with Arizona State University, and the University's Center for Negative Carbon Emissions (CNCE). Carbon Collect funds ongoing research at CNCE, and benefits from ASU IP, including the latest innovations of Dr Klaus Lackner and the CNCE team, assigned to the company under a global exclusive agreement. The MechanicalTree™ is a thousand times more efficient than natural trees at removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
The Global Warming Problem
Our scalable MechanicalTreeTM negative emissions technology addresses the root cause of climate change at a cost that makes impactful global deployment commercially viable NOW.
