Ucaneo

Ucaneo, based in Berlin, is at the forefront of developing innovative Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies for removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Their patented electrochemical process, inspired by the human lung, uses renewable energy and a specialized biomimetic solvent to efficiently remove CO2 from ambient air.

By 2035, Ucaneo aims to remove 0.5 gigatons of CO2 from the air, equivalent to about 1% of global annual emissions. With plans to build one of the largest DAC testing facilities in Germany and launch their first industrial product, Ucaneo’s solutions are set to offer one of the most cost-effective carbon removal systems worldwide helping industries meet regulatory and sustainability goals. 

“Climate tech companies aim to change the very foundation of how we interact with CO2 – to be successful we do not only need a groundbreaking technology, but also forward-thinking investors, ambitious regulators and innovative industry partners that help us to build up a new industry”.

Florian Tiller, Founder & CEO
