Aircapture<\/a>, a pioneer in direct air capture (DAC) technology, today announced a $50 million Series A round led by the Larsen Lam Climate Change Foundation. The investment will enable the 2025 XPrize \u201cCarbon Removal\u201d winner to scale operations and accelerate deployment of its modular, revenue-positive DAC systems that deliver high-purity, on-site CO\u2082 to food, beverage, industrial, and agricultural customers. With the financing, Aircapture offers a path to large-scale carbon capture and sequestration, positioning the company to lead the global transition to scalable, economically viable carbon removal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy DAC technologies have faced hurdles to scale, including high costs, complex infrastructure needs, and uncertain revenue models. Aircapture is breaking that mold with a commercially grounded approach that delivers immediate value. Through its modular systems, the company eliminates transportation costs, reduces carbon emissions, and insulates customers from supply constraints and market volatility that has seen CO\u2082 prices surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis investment allows us to meet a critical, underserved need in the\u00a0$70 billion<\/a>\u00a0industrial CO\u2082 market while decreasing the deployment and operational cost of large-scale carbon removal,\u201d said Matt Atwood, founder and CEO of Aircapture.<\/strong> \u201cOur model delivers high-purity atmospheric CO\u2082 directly at the point of use, creating immediate economic value and significantly reducing the footprint of traditional CO\u2082 supply chains. With this funding, we\u2019re expanding our technology deployment, accelerating project financing and manufacturing, and continuing to reduce the cost of direct air capture – making large-scale carbon removal a global reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Following its XPrize win for the Project Hajar<\/a> DAC installation, which proved the technology at commercial scale for sequestration and permanent removals, Aircapture has secured multi-year contracts with major global brands, including a Fortune 100 beverage company. The company\u2019s \u201cCO\u2082 as a Service\u2122\u201d model generates immediate revenue while offering a resilient alternative to conventional CO\u2082 supply chains, which have long relied on carbon-intensive byproducts from oil & gas, ammonia or ethanol production. These legacy systems have also been vulnerable to disruption from geopolitical conflicts, rising energy prices, and complex logistics. Aircapture\u2019s approach delivers clean, on-site CO\u2082, reducing risk while accelerating the shift to sustainable sourcing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Climate action requires scalable solutions that align carbon dioxide removal with commercial viability,” said Chris Larsen, founder of the Larsen Lam Climate Change Foundation<\/strong>. “Aircapture’s technology stands out because it delivers tangible, scalable benefits today. Their approach provides essential CO\u2082 for industries that depend on it daily while reducing atmospheric carbon levels. We’re investing in a proven model that can scale rapidly across mature commercial markets, carbon utilization and sequestration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With this new funding, Aircapture will accelerate manufacturing capacity for its next-generation containerized DAC units, expand its commercial deployments across North America, Europe, and Asia, and grow its engineering and deployment teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
