UK-based Cambridge Carbon Capture develops direct air capture (DAC) technology to capture and convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into construction materials. The company is a University of Cambridge spin-off. The company’s patented technology combines two distinct steps—CO2 capture and the production of low-cost byproducts such as silicon dioxide, magnesium carbonate, and rare metals.
Key customers and partnerships
Cambridge Carbon Capture partnered with YLEM, a British energy utility provider, to adopt its proprietary technology to remove CO2 from landfill sites.
Funding and financials
Cambridge Carbon Capture received a grant of GBP 250,000 (USD 360,000) from InnovateUK to explore DAC in partnership with the University of Cambridge. The project aimed to replace the two-step process with a single step. This process was expected to use silicate minerals, such as serpentine or olivine, to capture CO2.
