Captura

“Some of the technology that we were using did not conform to the safety standards that they correctly have at that facility. So we had a choice to either make sort of fundamental changes to the technologies supply chain to get to that safety level that was req…”

“We grow marine life in our outflow at various concentrations to confirm that we are having no detrimental effect. We model how our Outflow plume of water rapidly disseminates into the wider ocean and validate that within a very small distance from the outflow,…”

“Direct air capture typically requires a continuous level of power. We've designed our system to work with very intermittent and even curtailed energy for the majority, if not potentially all, of our energy use.”

“Physical sizing of the scale up was decided by the physical area inside that roll up garage. We hired a wonderful pilot engineer from Caltech. And I remember the first time I went into that garage after she joined, she had marked out on the floor where all the…”

“We developed a backwashing mechanism. So we'd actually regularly wash the membranes using the chemicals that we produced in the process, and that eliminated the fouling problem.”

“We've got hundreds of hours of continuous operation with no degradation.”

“It may end up being a combination of project finance and equity type finance, maybe a partnership.”

“So we raised what turned out to be eventually forty seven million dollars in our series A.”

“So, we're targeting twenty-twenty-eight to be in operation with our first commercial plant.”

“And we actually now have eight strategic partners who are investors. So we have a couple of energy companies in Equinor and Aramco. We have three renewable energy companies, NE, EDP, and National Grid. We have what we love to call our team Japan. Japan has a l…”

“The team had built the pilot, commissioned it, got it operating in just 70 days.”

“The technology that we were using at the time, membrane contactors, it was difficult to operate and the supply chain was challenging for us. So we actually went through two suppliers, which delayed everything there in setting up the barge and getting to the en…”

“So our process adds nothing to the ocean. We do not put any new material into the ocean whatsoever. The only thing we do is take out The CO two.”
