A breakthrough sorbent. A fraction of the cost.
Our proprietary sorbent captures more CO₂ per gram using far less energy than any incumbent — putting delivered CO₂ within reach of oilfield economics for the first time. While the rest of the industry sells carbon removal to buyers of voluntary offsets, Spiritus delivers usable CO₂ to operators — at a fraction of the cost, and on a path toward the price the oilfield actually needs.

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, charting a clear pathway to on-site CO2 supply for enhanced oil recovery at a fraction of the cost of trucked-in or pipelined CO2.

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 on-site CO2 for enhanced oil recovery right here at home. We’re proud to partner with leaders across New Mexico to advance homegrown technology that not only unlocks stranded U.S. oil reserves but also supports New Mexico’s journey to becoming an energy powerhouse.
Low-temperature process
Our process captures CO₂ at low temperature, using a fraction of the energy required by conventional direct air capture.
Multiples more per gram
The sorbent holds far more CO₂ per gram than the best competing materials — fewer modules, less footprint, lower cost.
Why Spiritus
2x sorption rate
3x sorbent loading
10x sorbent productivity
2x reduction in energy use
The next decade of low-cost, on-site CO₂ starts here.
