Capturing carbon to fight climate change
Driven by this vision, NEG8 Carbon has brought together a highly qualified, high performing team to establish our position as the “Intel Inside” for technology-agnostic DAC and e-Fuel project developers. By 2040, NEG8 Carbon will deploy tens of thousands of adsorber systems, enabling the removal of 4.5 Mtpa of CO2, with the goal of mitigating 100 million tonnes of CO2 every year by 2050.
Initial design phase completed and commercialisation centre established
Demonstration Unit Produced
Production of 1st Modular Full Scale CO2 Capture Unit
1 Megatonne CO2 Captured
4.2 Megatonne CO2 Captured Annually
100 Megatonne CO2 Captured
DAC Project Developers
NEG8 Carbon supplies the technology and builds the DAC adsorber units for large-scale Direct Air Capture projects.
Utilization Processes
Our captured CO₂ can be used, for example, as feedstock, in food and beverages and in producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). (See: What is Carbon Dioxide Utilization?)
Partnerships
We welcome collaborations with other technology developers, governments, academia and industries to further expand the reach and impact of our technology. (See: Deep Sky Labs DAC Project)
Our Waterford city site provides the ideal environment for developing our carbon capture technology. The location provides access to sophisticated prototyping and manufacturing capabilities which will help to address the global challenges of climate change and global warming.
Our team of scientists and engineers all share a deep passion for solving the challenge of carbon reduction across the world.
