Carbon Infinity

Direct air capture technology to de-fossilise the industrial economy

Carbon Infinity is developing a modular, cost-effective technology capturing CO₂ directly from the atmosphere. The technology, optimised for standardised production and rapid deployment, provides a green CO₂ feedstock and a platform to de-fossilise difficult or impossible to decarbonise sectors, namely petrochemicals, concrete and long-distance aviation, and shipping.

Carbon Infinity’s deep-tech direct air capture solution enables both the de-fossilisation of the industrial economy and mass-scale carbon removal. The technology involves advanced sponge-like materials that adsorb CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, creating a pure stream of CO₂ for conversion into carbon-based products or subsequent storage.

The expert multi-disciplinary team has decades of international experience developing and commercialising carbon capture technologies. Geographically distributed across London, Saudi Arabia, the US and China, the team encompasses material scientists, physicists, mechanical engineers and chemists, with an increasing focus on computational research and engineering.

The Carbon Infinity team aims to achieve commercialisation and commence offering their direct air capture modules for deployment with end-customers in 2023. Through the ClimAccelerator programme and with support of Munich Re and ERGO, the team aims to refine their go-to-market strategy, as well as navigating the risk profile of developing carbon removal facilities.
