Electrochemical-Powered Direct Air Capture

Mission Zero Technologies is developing a direct air capture system that employs an electrochemical method to separate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Mission Zero Technologies' core technology involves dissolving atmospheric carbon in a solution and using electrical currents to release a pure stream of CO₂. This design philosophy is intended to leverage renewable power and avoid the high energy demands of heating-based systems. Mission Zero Technologies maintains that its electrochemical-based direct air capture system is a versatile tool with two primary applications — the permanent sequestration of carbon to address historical emissions, and the supply of atmospheric CO₂ as a feedstock to displace fossil-based carbon in industrial products and fuels. Mission Zero Technologies also highlights the modular design of its innovation, as well as its energy flexibility to utilize intermittent renewable power.
