DAC Module 01 — Iceland
Sorbent contactor with basalt mineralisation, running on geothermal.
Operating Facets
The Verticals
Each vertical is an independent engine of regeneration — and a node in the same circular system. Filter by domain, step inside any facet, then follow the journey loop through the whole ecosystem.

Atmospheric Repair
Direct Air Carbon Removal
The atmosphere gets its lungs back. Machines that breathe in the last century's emissions and turn them into stone.

Purpose
Mission
Remove legacy CO₂ from the air at gigatonne relevance — powered exclusively by renewable surplus and stored for geologic time.
Vision
A planet whose atmospheric carbon curve finally bends back down, one mineralised tonne at a time.
Goals & Drives
Strategic goals
- 01Reach 100 kt/yr removal capacity across modular sites by 2030
- 02Achieve <$150/t removed at scale using curtailed renewables
- 03Certify every tonne through the same open MRV registry as forestry
What drives it
- Repairing atmospheric damage that cannot wait for emission cuts alone
- Making removal accountable through the same registry as nature-based credits
- Coupling atmospheric repair to renewable surplus
