Last year, we launched the UK’s first direct air capture plant. This year, we’re putting another two systems on the ground. (More on that here 👉 https://bit.ly/3SyEnIl) This ambitious growth is entirely down to the expert team we’ve grown around our mission. But what, exactly, goes into rapidly scaling a new #climatetech? Today we’re taking a look at what our Lab Technician, Nirav, gets up to in our East London HQ. ❓What does a lab technician do at a DAC company? 🅰️ Preparing samples to run experiments and then analysing the results, calibrating equipment, and working with the chemicals in our tech are all part of my day-to-day. ❓Why did you choose to work for a climate tech start-up? 🅰️ It’s beyond exciting to know that my work to ensure the quality of our results will help to inform technical decisions which shape the direction of planet-changing technology. What else would you like to learn about what goes on at Mission Zero HQ? #directaircapture #labtechnician #carbonremoval

Global energy watchdog the International Energy Agency (IEA) states that we need to remove 1 billion tons of CO₂ annually by 2030 in order to hit our Net Zero goals for 2050. 🌡️ To meet that goal, we need to more than triple the amount of global carbon removals delivered in 2023 every single year until then. That’s no mean feat. Every day, our team puts their all into unlocking the full climate mitigation potential of direct air capture. That means rapidly evolving the science, securing robust financial backing, deploying internationally, and scaling flexibly at pace. Challenge accepted. 🤝 Learn more about how we’re fighting the climate crisis on the molecular front line ➡️ https://bit.ly/3WKRdWw #climateaction #netzero #carbonremoval #sustainability #climatetech

Why can’t we just plant more trees to remove CO₂ emissions? 🌲 For millions of years, forests have been working hard as natural carbon sinks, regulating the balance of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Our leafy friends might be the original carbon removers, but scaling nature-based solutions like reforestation alone won’t draw carbon out of the atmosphere fast enough to reach our climate goals. It also poses difficult questions around global land use. That’s where direct air capture solutions can help — packing a powerful, easily measurable carbon removal punch into an extremely compact land footprint. 🥊 #directaircapture #reforestation #sustainability #carbonremoval

The sun might not have been shining, but the high vis was! 🦺 Last week, we welcomed the Project Monitoring Officer on behalf of Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to the site of our second UK DAC deployment for an update on activities. This Norfolk-based project represents another first-of-a-kind deployment for our team and is only possible due to catalytic funding from the UK government to accelerate greenhouse gas removal solutions. We’ll keep you posted as this project rapidly takes shape on the ground.

Last week, we celebrated our fourth birthday at our inaugural ‘Hot Christmas’ event. 🔥 Naturally, it involved building things in the comfort of a London railway arch — but also great food, a DJ set from a family friend, and cacti. From our three co-founders, Nicholas, Shiladitya, and Gaël, to a dedicated team of over thirty compassionate and brilliant people, it’s humbling to take stock of the amazing community we’ve grown around our mission to reinvent carbon for good. Today, we have three first-of-a-kind DAC plants taking shape on the ground and a pipeline of planet-changing plans in the works. We can’t wait for what the next four years hold. A special mention to some very spiky new team members, who are settling into their new homes — MZT-stamped mugs lovingly hand made by one of our engineer’s mums. 🌵

Let's keep the conversation around carbon removal going strong, taking the challenges ahead in our stride. 💪 #ClimateInnovation #ClimateTech #Sustainability
Yesterday, I read an article that made me do a double take. This piece from Kenza Bryan in the Financial Times was a clear, well-written overview of carbon capture and carbon removal, in what’s probably 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥’𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳. 📰 Proof, if it were needed, that carbon capture and carbon removal really has transitioned from a niche interest you’d only read about in scientific journals or sustainability titles... to a technology category with global economic and business impact. 🌍 This balanced and objective overview is a useful reminder for players like Mission Zero Technologies that we can’t seize the opportunities in front of us, if we don’t pay attention to the challenges that exist too. 🏔️ Listening to Bill Gates last month at #BESummit24, he framed it perfectly when he talked about the decade in front of us: - This next decade needs to see promising tech translate into tangible products with real-life impacts. 📈 - As importantly though, it needs to be the decade where 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬. 🫱🏽🫲🏽 - We need to be honest enough to talk about more than just the positives. We have to share the challenges that remain and what it’s going to take to progress past them. 🛣️ So, a decade from now my hope is that any ‘where are we now?’ piece from the FT on carbon capture and carbon removal celebrates: 1- the work of projects like the NEGEM Project that proscribed how businesses can be incentivised to put carbon removal at the heart of meaningful decarbonisation strategies, restoring the negative externality of Scopes 1-3 emissions to their rightful place for accounting and action. 2- the brave funding policies and mechanisms that bridged the FOAK>commercial rollout gap, so startups offering the quality, financially viable climate solutions we needed could develop into the global successes industry and society needed. ...among many other possible visions of success! There’s plenty more to say here, but I’m keen to hear from *you* - are there more questions that you have about carbon capture and carbon removal technologies today? Do comment or DM me, I'd be happy to chat. Let's all leave our Linkedin procrastination breaks a little more well-informed 💡

A lot can happen in four years... Over the last few weeks, we've been reflecting on our journey to date while surrounded by our inspiring friends, supporters and #climatetech champs! 🏆
On the cusp of Mission Zero Technologies' 4th birthday, last week was something different for me. 🎂 It was the first time I've had the luxury to step away from the office in 2024, be away from my team (the FOMO) and catch up with the amazing community working to secure the planet's future 🌍 Being heads-down on work can take a lot out of you, so taking strength from others was a welcome chance to refresh. For us, receiving investment and support from Breakthrough Energy 3 years ago was unreal back when it happened - and now #BESummit2024 led by Bill Gates himself, in the flesh, took shape in our backyard in London for #LCAW2024! Reconnecting with the amazing global team at Breakthrough, and all the ecosystem players who've been past and present champions for Mission Zero was reinvigorating - it helps to take stock of just how far we've come, and all the support we've received. This even included a reunion with childhood friend-now-policy ally Nicolette Tan, driving progress back in Singapore 🫱🏽🫲🏽 This was capped off by a weekend in Munich at the Deutsches Museum, speaking to a planetarium full of tech enthusiasts (how often does one get to type that?), at the invitation of Larissa Skarke and World Fund and alongside the immensely experienced Carlos Haertel who has seen and done it all before in DAC once already. 🙇🏼♂️ Any chance to inspire belief in those learning about climate tech for the first time is a chance worth taking, and I was grateful to have their ears leading into the weekend, even doing a merch swap afterwards with Niklas Oettle! Now I'm back in seat, and I'm ready for the next 4 years. Mission Zero Technologies is ready for the next 4 years. And I hope you'll continue to support us for the next 4 years! 🙏🏼
