Accelerating Sustainable Stewardship of Our Climate

Where innovation meets sustainability, and the future is carbon-neutral.

Spiritus Overview

Spiritus stands at the forefront of high-quality direct air capture (DAC) carbon removal, bringing to life a groundbreaking solution that captures and sequesters megaton-scale CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Our Approach

We integrate:
  • A novel sorbent material
  • An innovative process design
  • A modular framework
Together, these enable cost-efficient, scalable carbon removal that sets new standards for sustainability.

Energy Innovation

We’ve developed a non-TVSA desorption process that reduces energy use by more than 50% compared to conventional methods.

Faster Adsorption

Rapid sorption/desorption rates at a fraction of the cost vs. state-of-the-art sorbents — all under passive DAC conditions.

The Carbon Orchard Model

To make DAC high-quality and low-cost, we optimize all key drivers:
  • Energy input
  • Sorbent cost and durability
  • Kinetics
  • Facility CAPEX

This “Rubik’s Cube” solution, paired with modular infrastructure, allows us to scale quickly and reshape the DAC landscape.
"To prevent the worst harms from climate change, we will need to remove gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually. This is an incredibly hard problem that will require new innovations to bring down cost and accelerate scale. It’s exciting to see Spiritus pioneer new technologies for direct air capture that can drive progress for the field, and dramatically expand access to the highest-quality carbon dioxide removals."

“Direct Air Capture has the potential to play an important role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors of the economy, but until now, it has been too expensive to be meaningful. Breakthrough approaches like Spiritus are needed. We are excited to partner with Spiritus and bring this important technology to market.”
- Bruce Niven – Aramco Ventures
“We are witnessing a pivotal moment in the journey to decarbonize our economies. Spiritus represents a unique fusion of cutting-edge material science and scalable, cost-efficient carbon removal, making it a key enabler of the world's industrial future. This $30M Series A investment will catalyze the widespread deployment of DAC, ensuring that growth does not come at the expense of our environment.”
