About Phlair
Why we do what we do
We unleash CO2's potential through breakthrough innovation. We rapidly deploy Direct Air Capture technology, facilitating the removal and reuse of CO2 at scale.
For decades, fossil fuels served as the backbone and feedstock of our economy – with the downside of polluting our atmosphere. We invert this equation by developing a cost-efficient and scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. We capture CO2 from ambient air for either permanent storage or as a precursor for CO2-negative chemicals.
Non-thermal approaches for DAC rely on acids and bases. Bases efficiently bind CO2, while acids release it. We have cracked the nut here by developing a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, allowing us to deliver a scalable and cost-effective DAC process.
DAC needs to scale up to 1-2 gigatons (Gt) by 2050 to offset residual emissions from hard-to-abate industries and Scope 3 activities, such as flights. We assist our leading clients, including Shopify and Stripe, in reaching their net-zero objectives.
Beyond, our technology can be utilized for point-source capture in the aluminum industry.

Frontier Climate. Frontier is buyers club for high quality carbon removal credits, i.e. a certificate validating the permanent (for >1,000 years!) and additional (to natural processes) removal of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, thereby curbing global warming.
We also partner with
Deep Sky Climate, a Canadian project developer seeking to build multi-megaton scale carbon removal facilities.
