Airhive is #hiring a pilot engineer to lead commissioning and operation of our DAC pilots and future commercial plants. We’re seeking an experienced plant operator who is excited by the prospect of rapidly growing direct air capture. This role will entail significant autonomy with noteworthy potential for growth as we scale our DAC operations. Initially, the pilot engineer will be primarily responsible for commissioning and operating our first two 1000-tonne commercial pilots from this autumn, and then commissioning and operating our first commercial facility in 2025. Role requirements: - London-based, with regular travel to multiple pilot sites internationally - 5+ years experience in plant operations including electrical and mechanical maintenance - Strong HSE knowledge and experience - Strong working knowledge of PLC and motor controls Benefits: - Competitive salary commensurate with experience - Stock option scheme - Re-location benefits as relevant Please reach out to us at [email protected] with the heading Pilot Engineer and a CV. We look forward to hearing from you! #pilotengineer #carbonremoval #dac #directaircapture

Today we're announcing that Deep Sky has chosen Innisfail, Alberta as the location of the world's first direct air capture pilot innovation centre, Deep Sky Labs! Translating to "Island of Destiny" in Irish, Innisfail is an emerging clean technology hub, strategically located an hour north of Calgary along the busiest economic corridor in the province. From idea to construction in less than year, Deep Sky Labs will host pilots from the world's best DAC companies, starting with Mission Zero Technologies, Airhive, Skytree, Skyrenu technologies, NEG8 Carbon (formerly Trinity Green Energies), Phlair, Greenlyte Carbon Technologies, and Avnos, Inc. with the first arriving this fall. Powered entirely by 100% solar renewable electricity, Labs will have the capacity to capture 30,000 tonnes of CO2 from the air over 10 years, where it will be safely and permanently injected underground. Construction begins this month and we're thrilled that Deep Sky Labs has finally found its home. We're also announcing two CO2 storage projects in Quebec - deep saline aquifer storage in Bécancour and in-situ mineralization in Thetford Mines! Work has already begun on mapping the 3D underground using ultrasonic technology. We're targeting wells in 2025 to build our commercial scale DAC project in Quebec.

"Conflict is growing globally. We're definitely in a more unstable time than we've been really since the Second World War. If we're on track for a 3°C world, the level of conflict we've experienced in the last century is nothing like what we will face - it will be much, much more severe. It's not just about things like fatalities; it's things like whole countries becoming unlivable spaces, and the knock-on effects on global stability." We spoke with Airhive's CEO and co-founder Rory Brown on climate change, conflict, and direct air capture (DAC) technology. Airhive is pioneering a hybrid geochemical-DAC technology that uses fluidization to achieve rapid, cost-effective CO2 removal from the atmosphere. Their innovative approach addresses the urgent need for large-scale carbon removal to combat climate change and its global impacts. https://lnkd.in/ei-w-fFK #DeepTech #DirectAirCapture #ClimateChange #DAC #CDR #CO2Removal #Environment #ClimateTech | Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, The Coca-Cola Company, Deepsky, Collaborative Fund, AP Ventures, Brinc, XPRIZE, Carbon Unbound, Isometric, Teesside University, Innovate UK, Siemens, The OpenAir Collective, Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre, Stripe, Shopify, H&M, University of Sussex, University of Oxford

New research from Airhive on public perceptions of direct air capture! We worked with social science researchers Molly James and Natalie Carter to understand perceptions of #DAC in the Tees Valley, United Kingdom, where we are deploying our first pilot project. Natalie and Molly interviewed nearly 40 community stakeholders in the Tees Valley to understand and analyse public perceptions of DAC and socially responsible industry. A few of the takeaways from the interviews that stood out to us: 1. Community members are largely unfamiliar with DAC (something we in the CDR echo chamber can forget) but when presented with information, see the climate benefits as valuable and issues such as energy requirements as important 2. The Tees Valley industrial heritage provides a strong sense of regional pride and interest in industry, but also some scepticism as a result of unfulfilled promises in the past 3. Co-benefits matter, and community members had ideas to offer for what these might look like in context While these takeaways are not necessarily generalisable, we hope this research is the beginning of a concerted effort from the DAC industry to understand how local communities think about DAC and how we can work towards a mutually beneficial DAC industry. See the rest of the key takeaways on our blog, and keep an eye out for the full report, which will be released later this year. #communityengagement #cobenefits #directaircapture #carbonremoval

We had a great time with The Chemical Engineer talking about our quite unusual application of a bread and butter chemical engineering process - fluidisation - to direct air capture. Thank you to Amanda Jasi for highlighting our progress. You can check out her full article here: https://lnkd.in/gh-JsKuq To help meet the challenge climate change presents to us all, we need many more chemical engineers - and other engineers and scientists - to be excited about tackling climate change by designing, building and operating novel technologies. In our team, we have some brilliant engineers from the UK and overseas. We wanted to give a shout-out to Kenechukwu Ugonabo, a chemical engineer from Nigeria, and Emmanuel Kankam, a mechanical engineer from Ghana, who just completed their industrial placements with us in May and are now continuing on with us as we commission and test our pilot system in Teesside. If you are interested in joining our rapidly growing team, please visit our website and get in touch! #catchcarbonfaster #engineering #carbonremoval #DAC #netzero

We recently had the fantastic opportunity to visit Siemens' Process Automation World in Karlsruhe, Germany. It was great to deep dive into Siemens’ expertise in intelligent measurement, modular process and plant control systems, and manufacturing design. We are excited about how Siemens can support us to make the first commercial #DAC facilities we’re working on at the moment as safe, intelligent and accurate as possible. We also saw some some super cool robotics! Thank you to Thomas Mohr, Michael von Reitzenstein-Dehler, and Christian Bohnert in particular for hosting us, and Olia Filippova for making it happen. #catchcarbonfaster

We were really pleased to welcome Isometric to our Teesside pilot facility last week! We're collaborating with the Isometric team to ensure that our measurement systems facilitate transparent data collection. This means buyers understand how much carbon dioxide is captured from the air in real-time. It was great to show the team around and show off #fluidisation in action--fortunately the Isometric team is as into carbon removal as we are. We look forward to welcoming more visitors to Teesside soon. #cdr #carbonremoval #DAC #netzeroteesside
