CARBON CAPTURE
The science behind the solution Inspired by the natural processes of respiration, Mission Zero has developed a novel electrochemical solution for DAC that utilises only water, a catalyst and renewable electricity to extract CO₂ from the air. The approach offers several advantages, including a small land footprint and the potential for global deployment.
“ The world needs a more sustainable source of carbon and we believe DAC is the way that gets achieved,” Nick explains.
The early results of Mission Zero’ s system have been groundbreaking, showcasing its potential to be one of the fastest and most efficient methods of direct air capture.
From lab to reality Since its inception in 2020, Mission Zero has rapidly grown from a concept to a tangible solution. The company has assembled a team of experts in electrochemistry and chemical engineering, fostering a culture of innovation and ownership. They have built their own research and development labs, designing and iterating their technology entirely in-house. This dedication has enabled them to deploy their first DAC plant at a customer’ s site in just three years.
“ I’ m an optimist,” Nick shares.“ I believe that people have a view that DAC will be cost competitive in 2050 – I think it’ ll be cost competitive before 2030.”
Mission Zero understands that scaling DAC to the levels required to meet global climate goals demands collaboration.
