Origen Secures Funding for its Limestone-Based DAC Technology
Kanesa D — January 22, 2025References: carbonherald & origencarbon
Climate technology pioneer Origen has announced the successful closure of its Series A funding round, raising $13 million to accelerate its innovative limestone-based direct air capture (DAC) technology.
At the heart of Origen's innovation is its ability to harness the natural chemistry of limestone to capture and store CO2. The company’s proprietary process involves isolating carbon dioxide from limestone rock, which is then securely stored underground, transforming the limestone into lime. This lime subsequently acts as a natural carbon sponge, passively sequestering atmospheric CO2 in a durable, long-term manner.
Origen’s fuel-flexible DAC system encompasses proprietary technologies across multiple stages, including specialized kilns, advanced lime preparation techniques, and air contactors. By leveraging this innovative limestone pathway, Origen aims to address the dual challenge of decarbonizing industrial processes and mitigating climate change.
