On a week where Climeworks unveiled the world's largest commercial direct air capture facility to date, Project Mammoth, and XPRIZE announced its 20 finalists, including Direct Air Capture Coalition members Aircapture Airhive Heirloom and Octavia Carbon, this news shows that we are seeing the research, development, innovation, and deployment necessary to scale this critical climate solution happen in the real world. Our role at the Direct Air Capture Coalition is to help support the visionaries, innovators, and entrepreneurs working hard every day to make gigaton scale direct air capture a reality. Their success will be the world's success in addressing humanity's greatest challenge, and weeks like this one give us hope that we will be able to work together to create a brighter future and safer climate. Congratulations to the Holocene team on the unveiling of their DAC pilot this week. The launch of their pilot represents another impressive milestone in the scaling of this critical climate technology. A hearty congratulations to Anca Timofte Keeton Ross and the whole team on reaching this achievement in such a short period of time.
Our team has shared a few “big day” posts… but this week, May 8th, marked the BIGGEST (yet). We unveiled, & operated, our first DAC pilot for the world. We were grateful to bring together nearly 100 attendees from within and outside of Knoxville to witness this major milestone – both for our company, and we hope, for the planet. For the majority of attendees, they had never seen a direct air capture facility before. Let alone, seen one operate... in real time, with real data, in real life. This day was the culmination of countless hours, tireless work, and limitless ingenuity from the entire Holocene team to turn an idea into a reality. The work doesn’t stop here – we’ve scaled up 100,000x… and we’ve got another 100,000x to go to reach megatonne scale facilities. We’re sharing a few pictures, and live video from the technology demonstration, so our broader community can celebrate this accomplishment with us, as well.
