What Our Planet Needs

Annual Emissions and Carbon Removal Chart — Source: energypost.eu

The science is clear

In addition to decreasing emissions, we need to remove CO₂ that we’ve already emitted, to prevent climate change from continuing to harm our planet. And we need to do it now.

Why DAC?

Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one of the most promising technologies to remove CO₂ due to its ability to verifiably and permanently sequester CO₂ for millennia.

But there’s a catch – DAC is currently too complex, too expensive, and not deployable at great scale.

Why Origen?

Rocks to Removals

Our technology was designed to operate with today’s resources and fundamental chemistry to secure our future.

We combine the natural properties of limestone with proven industrial technology to permanently remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Green lime kiln for DAC – we use a proprietary design to drive CO₂ out of limestone. Fuel flexible; TRL 9 components

Low-intensity contactor – we let nature do its work by with simple mechanical structures that facilitate natural chemistry for passive CO₂ capture

High performance lime – we engineered calcium oxide, also known as lime, specifically for DAC and use Origen's proprietary processing to maximize its ability to remove CO₂ from the air

How are we different?

We designed a simple solution to minimize the risks associated with direct air capture. Here's how:

We own the
full loop

Core elements of limestone-based DAC are kiln and contactor. We own both.

Our contactor is
low intensity

Enabled by our optimized lime production and processing

We utilize scalable,
cost effective inputs

Limestone and thermal energy molecules that are available widely and today

Our solution is
permanent

Scientifically proven to lock away CO₂ for over 1,000 years
