Soletair

Soletair was founded in 2016 with the tagline "Enabling buildings to capture CO2 directly from the air by deploying onsite direct air capture technology." This tagline reflects the company's mission to help buildings reduce their carbon emissions by implementing their patented onsite carbon capture technology.

The expertise of Soletair lies in carbon capture, specifically direct air capture. Their modular carbon capture systems are designed to be easily installed in commercial properties, allowing property owners to quickly implement onsite carbon capture solutions.

One of the key features of Soletair's technology is its integration with HVAC systems. Each HVAC-integrated DAC unit can capture up to 20 tons of CO2 per year, providing significant carbon reduction benefits. Additionally, if the system is used to control building ventilation based on CO2 levels, it can also help lower HVAC energy usage costs.

Soletair's carbon capture technology is safe, economically sustainable, and has a low environmental footprint. The captured CO2 can be stored or used in various applications, such as making polymers, methanol, fuel, food, and even diamonds. This cyclic use of CO2 helps reduce reliance on fossil-based resources.

The company has achieved notable milestones, including demonstrating the production of fuel from thin air at Expo 2020 Dubai in collaboration with Wärtsilä. They have also delivered a fully operating outdoor CO2 capturing unit to ZBT in Duisburg, Germany, and are set to install their HVAC-integrated CO2 capture system in Wärtsilä STH's building in Vaasa, Finland in 2023. Soletair continues to innovate and expand their technology to further enhance their carbon capture capabilities.
