Re-engineering Carbon Capture for the Real World

Most DAC systems are too costly, energy-hungry, or complex to scale. DACLab took a different approach. In collaboration with TU Wien, we developed a breakthrough decoupled TVSA architecture that captures CO₂ at temperatures as low as 70°C, cutting energy requirements by nearly 50%.

We work with project developers, operators, and industrial partners. Whether your goal is permanent sequestration, sustainable aviation fuel or other carbon utilization pathways, DACLab’s systems integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure, delivering reliable CO₂ capture with a clear path to profitability.

Our Iterative Innovation

The research focused on process engineering while using a sorbent that the group had 10 plus years experience previously used in a point source capture project.

Three different prototypes named “DACLings” were built with different processes each run for 1000 hours.

DACLing V1: Fixed bed system
DACLing V2: Fluidized bed system
DACLing V3: Decoupled moving bed system

Benefits of Our Patented Breakthrough Technology

Decoupled Architecture

Adsorption and desorption are separated into distinct units. Thus enabling higher efficiency, continuous CO2 output, and better process control.
