🌍 Shape the Future of Climate Tech with Phlair!
Fossil fuels have powered our economy for decades—at the cost of pollution and a changing climate. At Phlair, we’re reversing that
equation. With our cost-efficient, scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, we pull CO₂ from the air to
either store it permanently or repurpose it into CO₂-negative chemicals. Join us in enabling a carbon-negative future.
🚀 WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT?
We’ve developed a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, enabling scalable CO₂ capture. With partners like Frontier
Climate, Stripe, and Shopify, we’re on track to make a global impact.
Our Project Dawn is our flagship initiative, setting the foundation to scale our technology and remove millions of tons of CO₂
from the atmosphere. We're one of the only seven DAC companies with a proven offtake agreement. Phlair is poised to become a
technology leader, leveraging renewable energy and low-cost DAC to provide clean energy solutions that go beyond carbon removal.
