What is Spiritus?
Founded in 2022, Spiritus operates at the intersection of hard-tech and environmental sustainability. The company specializes in the development of direct-air capture (DAC) systems designed to extract carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere with high efficiency. Unlike traditional, energy-intensive carbon capture methods, Spiritus utilizes a modular architecture that allows for rapid deployment and cost-effective scaling. By focusing on the intersection of material science and industrial process engineering, the company aims to provide a viable pathway for corporations and governments to meet net-zero targets through verifiable, high-quality carbon removal credits.
