Mission Zero Technologies is a DAC startup developing modular, energy-efficient, and scalable direct air capture systems. Their electrochemical methods remove CO₂ from the atmosphere, consuming 3-5 times less energy than conventional methods. Their systems are easily deployable across industries and locations.
Mission Zero is a DAC startup with patent-pending breakthrough technology and close the carbon cycle.
R&D Focus
Mission Zero Technologies is tackling the urgent problem of climate change by focusing on the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is addressing the paradox of CO₂ being both a harmful pollutant and a valuable resource by developing direct air capture technology.
Innovative Solution
Mission Zero Technologies conducts research and development in direct air capture (DAC), focusing on electrochemical methods to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Their niche lies in creating modular, energy-efficient DAC systems that are versatile, mobile, and scalable for diverse industrial applications and geographic locations.
Solution Effectiveness
Mission Zero Technologies is using a proprietary electrochemical direct air capture (DAC) technology to solve the problem of excess atmospheric CO₂. Inspired by natural biological processes, their solution involves four key steps: pulling in air with fans, dissolving the CO₂ in a water-based solvent, using electricity through electrodialysis to extract the CO₂ as a gas, and finally collecting pure CO₂ for reuse or permanent storage.
