Based on more than three decades of research and development, the MechanicalTree™ is a thousand times more efficient than natural trees at removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Captured CO<sub>2</sub> can be sequestered or used as an alternative to CO2 from fossil fuels.
The MechanicalTree™ is a Passive Direct Air Capture (PDAC) solution that requires no energy for CO2 capture, eliminating the need for energy-intensive fans used in other DAC systems.
In 2024, Carbon Collect developed the second-generation MechanicalTree™ which incorporates non-metallic materials, enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and further optimizes energy use.
Small Cluster
Circa 1 ton of CO2 Capture per day
High Purity CO2
Greater than 95% to 99.9% purity CO2
Modular Design for Scaling
1m - 4m tons/year carbon farms
Each MechanicalTree™ stands over ten meters tall when extended to capture CO2 and features sorbent tiles that move in a continuous cycle of capture and regeneration. MechanicalTree™ farms are ideally suited for addressing hard-to-abate carbon emissions.
Over the next decade, Carbon Collect aims to deploy its technology globally, starting in the United States, by partnering with large corporations and governments focused on carbon mitigation. The company plans to begin with small-scale implementations, scaling up to farms capable of capturing up to 4 million tons of CO2 annually.
Carbon Collect invites strategic partnerships for the deployment of these large-scale farms.
How it Works
Capture Mode
01.
A column of disks extends vertically to a height of ten meters and
become saturated with CO2 from ambient air delivered by wind
02.
When saturated with CO2 the disks are lowered into a regeneration chamber.
Regeneration Mode
03.
Regeneration occurs to release a greater than 95% purity CO2 product.
The CO2 flows from the regeneration chamber and is processed.
04.
The MechanicalTree™ column extends again to full height to repeat the process
