A $650 billion market
Why DAC, why now?
Achieving net-zero requires more than just reducing emissions: CO₂ must also be removed from the atmosphere. This market is estimated at $650 billion by 2050, yet today, removed quantities are minimal. Two obstacles hinder its growth: energy costs and the difficulty of integrating capture into production infrastructure. CarpeCarbon addresses both: it uses readily available energy and designs plants for replication.
CO₂ REMOVAL MARKET (CDR) BY 2050
$650B
CO₂ REMOVED
from DAC today: 0.01 Mt/year
JULY 2026
The EU aims to bring DAC into the world’s largest carbon market.
For the first time, removing CO₂ from the air is no longer a voluntary choice: it is entering a regulated market, with a public buyer guaranteed by law. This is the moment when demand for DAC becomes concrete, not just a good intention.
Learning Curve
The initial doublings are the most cost-effective and create the maximum value for investors.
In DAC, cost reduction must follow a predictable trajectory by design, similar to that already seen in photovoltaics. The first doublings require few plants, so they arrive quickly. Those who enter today secure the maximum return on investment for a key technology of the future.

The Window of Opportunity
In DAC, the window of opportunity is opening now
In photovoltaics, the market consolidated in about a decade around those who first industrialised production. DAC will follow the photovoltaic curve only if we mass-produce it.
FIRST COMMERCIAL PLANT MADE IN ITALY
The first industrial plant in partnership with Michelin Italiana S.p.A.
300 tonnes/year of CO₂
Nominal capacity for capturing CO₂ from ambient air.
Industrial Waste Heat
Integrates heat already available in the factory without modifying the production process, turning waste into a resource.
Live Q3 2027
Part of the CO₂ captured by the plant will be used in Michelin Italiana’s factory processes.
THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
We replace electricity with heat. This is where the cost changes scale.
Our process replaces most electricity with low-temperature heat, whether solar or industrial waste heat. Energy has less impact on the cost per tonne and capture takes place where heat is already available.
<300
kWh/tCO₂
A technology aiming for a cost below €100 per tonne that does not depend on electricity prices.
Patented technology
Up to 90% less electricity than conventional DAC

Who believes in us.
Our Offering
One plant, three ways to bring DAC to market.
On-site modular
plant
The company with surplus energy or CO₂ demand hosts and owns the plant. We design, build, and operate it under EPC and O&M contracts.
CarpeCarbon-owned plants
We build, own, and operate the plant, from capture to storage. We generate permanent removal credits for institutions and large corporations.
Shared plants – removal communities
Multiple companies co-finance and own a plant as a consortium, without bearing the investment alone. We design, build, and operate it for the consortium under EPC and O&M contracts.
