Bomvento – Pioneering greenhouse gas reduction with wind turbines

Bomvento

Bomvento works towards transforming wind turbines into direct air capture facilities, in addition to generating clean energy. The team estimates that each wind turbine could remove up to 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year, effectively doubling the revenue potential of each turbine.

The teams’ approach involves coating turbine blades with a photocatalytic coating, converting wind turbines into dual-purpose assets capable of removing greenhouse gases like N2O and CH4 while generating clean energy. This transformation turns wind farms into Direct Air Capture (DAC) installations, boosting turbine revenue and potentially revolutionising both the wind and carbon markets.

Bomvento's technology directly addresses the critical challenge of greenhouse gas reduction from the atmosphere, significantly contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. The team aims to develop a pioneering solution for removing N2O, a greenhouse gas 300 times more potent than CO₂, from the atmosphere. The team consists of experienced scientists and business experts, ensuring that the solution works and scales effectively.

Bomvento is currently focused on Research & Development, reaching the milestone of a chemistry proof of concept. In the Carbon Removal ClimAccelerator, the founders aimed at harnessing resources and expertise to lay the groundwork for strategic design partnerships.
