DACMA DAC Systems

DACMA's Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is designed to remove CO2 from the atmosphere at large scale. The system uses a modular design that is scalable to gigaton capacities. It employs an adsorption process to capture CO2, with large fans pulling CO2-rich air into a filtration system. The air passes through an adsorbent material that absorbs CO2 molecules, after which the lean-CO2 air is returned to the atmosphere.

DACMA has evaluated over 40 different adsorbent materials to optimize CO2 uptake under ambient conditions. Their patented reactor design incorporates aerospace industry principles to optimize airflow patterns, maximizing contact efficiency and CO2 uptake compared to competitors.

The captured CO2 can be used for either Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) or Direct Air Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (DACCS). In CCU, the CO2 serves as a raw material for industrial applications, contributing to a circular economy. For DACCS, the CO2 is permanently sequestered to prevent its release back into the atmosphere.

DACMA's DAC technology is designed to operate in various climate conditions and features interchangeable adsorbents for continuous performance improvement. The company claims to be a pioneer in DAC system development and the market leader for DAC technologies. Their first machines were successfully delivered in 2023, demonstrating the technology's viability and scalability for addressing net zero goals.
