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

Unlike other CO2 direct air capture technologies, the MechanicalTree™ utilizes natural wind to deliver ambient air, avoiding the need for energy-intensive forced convection - the use of large energy intensive fans to move air through the system. This approach significantly reduces the energy required and lowers capture costs.

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

Impact

Carbon Collect's MechanicalTree™ is modular and designed for easy scaling. It can be deployed at various scales from small clusters to large-scale carbon farms in a wide range of geographies. In general, optimal operating ambient temperature is between 3°C and around 38°C.
