SpiritusDAC

A New Generation of Direct Air Capture

Spiritus is pioneering a new generation of direct air capture (DAC) technology that makes permanent carbon removal affordable, scalable, and verifiable. Our Carbon Orchard™ system captures CO₂ directly from the air using a passive design that eliminates energy-intensive fans, paired with a proprietary low-energy desorption process. Our modular design accelerates deployment to megaton capacity—empowering industries, power generators, and technology leaders to achieve net-zero without compromise.

Let's Connect

01.

The Evolution of Direct Air Capture

The first generation of DAC technologies proved that removing CO₂ directly from the air was possible—but only at very high cost. A second wave of innovators began optimizing individual cost drivers, lowering expenses but still falling short of true scalability.

Spiritus represents the third generation of DAC—a breakthrough approach that optimizes all major cost drivers simultaneously and charts a clear pathway to permanent carbon removal at under $100 per ton.

A Breakthrough in Sorbent Science

At the heart of Spiritus’s DAC technology is a unique sorbent chemistry and structure that transforms how carbon is captured and released. Its design enables passive air contacting, eliminating the need for energy-intensive fans, and supports low-temperature desorption for dramatically lower energy use.

With a high CO₂ capacity, the sorbent allows for a smaller industrial footprint and more efficient deployment of capital. Just as importantly, it is inexpensive to produce with readily available chemical inputs—ensuring that Spiritus can scale quickly while maintaining a clear pathway to affordable, permanent carbon removal.

Pioneered and Scaled in New Mexico

Spiritus technology was born in northern New Mexico—and the region continues to be the heart of our innovation and development work. From lab breakthroughs to industrial-scale systems, our team is building the future of carbon removal in New Mexico.

We’re proud to partner with leaders across New Mexico to advance homegrown technology that not only addresses global climate challenges but also supports New Mexico’s journey to becoming a net-zero energy powerhouse.

Orchard Power makes carbon-neutral energy practical today. By integrating Spiritus’s breakthrough DAC technology with natural gas, it delivers power that is fast, clean, and affordable—unlocking a path to net-zero without sacrificing reliability.

Why DAC

Spiritus is targeting the first-ever levelized cost of capture below $100 per ton—unlocking truly affordable, permanent carbon removal at scale.
50% less energy

Our proprietary low-temperature desorption process slashes energy requirements by more than half compared to traditional DAC methods.
Breakthrough sorbent

A novel, high-capacity sorbent made from widely available inputs powers our rapid, cost-effective scale-up.

Key Benefits & Applications of DAC

Removes Existing CO₂

Can address historical emissions already in the atmosphere.

Scalable Solution

DAC facilities can make use of existing industrial infrastructures and sites, minimizing land use conflicts.

Supports Energy Transition

Creates new jobs in energy-producing regions as economies transition.

Permanent Geological Storage

Injecting captured CO₂ deep underground into stable geological formations where it will remain permanently is critical to countering fossil fuel emissions and reaching net zero.

Sustainable Fuels and Power

Combining renewable hydrogen with captured CO₂ produces low carbon intensity synthetic fuels for aviation, shipping, and other sectors.

Building Materials

Captured CO₂ can be sequestered in concrete and other construction materials to create more sustainable alternatives.
