Skytree Launches First Direct Air Capture Unit for Onsite CO2 Generation
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Skytree, a pioneering climate tech company dedicated to combating climate change through innovative CO2 capture and reutilization solutions, today announced the launch of Skytree Cumulus, the company's inaugural Direct Air Capture (DAC) modular unit. Once installed onsite at a vertical farm, greenhouse, or any Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) business, Skytree Cumulus captures CO2 from the ambient air and makes it available for use by indoor farmers and greenhouse growers in the production of food, algae, vaccines, and flowers.
- Skytree Cumulus is now available for ordering with the first units to ship in early 2024.
- "This is an incredibly exciting moment for Skytree as we move forward with the commercialization of our first unit for onsite carbon capture and reutilization," said Rob van Straten, Skytree CEO.
- "By enabling the generation of CO2 onsite at farms and greenhouses, we are taking a significant step forward in helping CEA businesses reduce their carbon footprint and transition away from the fossil fuel industry as a source for CO2 supply."
- Capable of generating up to 400 kg of CO2 per day, Skytree expects the larger unit to become available in the second half of 2024.
