(286d) Hybrid Direct Air Capture: Carbon Negative. Water Positive.

Avnos is commercializing the most advanced technology in the Direct Air Capture (DAC) of CO₂. Our proprietary Hybrid Direct Air Capture (HDAC^TM) solution inverts the water paradigm in DAC, producing water, eliminating heat consumption, and reducing costs compared to other forms of DAC. We use a moisture swing adsorbent system instead of a thermal adsorbent to extract CO₂, significantly reducing energy consumption and supporting an electrically driven process. The CO₂ that is captured can either be stored or reused, and the water that is produced is used to drive the CO₂ operation. Moreover, our HDAC^TM solution offers broad geographic potential, enabling our technology to operate in water-scarce environments. We utilize a modular design concept to facilitate rapid manufacturing and right-sized installations. The bottom line? Our enhanced HDAC^TM capture approach projects to be the most scalable, adaptable, and offer the lowest Levelized Cost of Capture on the market. Currently, we have one pilot plant in operation in Bakersfield, California, and are building a second thanks to the support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Office of Naval Research to rapidly scale. HDAC^TM offers a transformational way to achieve Net Zero carbon.
