Engineering
the CO_₂ transition

Skytree’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology has been selected by Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich for a pioneering Power-to-X research project. The goal: to create a scalable, real-world model for converting solar energy into carbon building blocks usable as eFuel or base chemical  eFuels are renewable, carbon-neutral liquid fuels that can be produced in desert climates, powered by solar energy, and transported to energy-demanding regions like Europe. This initiative aims to demonstrate how companies could transform excess renewable energy into safely transportable fuels using Direct Air Capture in the future.

Division Q, Koppert Cress' innovation arm, invests in Skytree's Direct Air Capture (DAC), reinforcing Koppert Cress’ commitment to lead sustainability in horticulture and become climate-positive by 2026. This collaboration will see Skytree’s DAC technology deployed in Koppert Cress’ greenhouses, extracting CO₂ directly from the atmosphere to stimulate plant growth. This initiative not only advances sustainable horticulture but also solidifies the Netherlands’ positions as global leader in innovative greenhouse technology.

Skytree and Return Carbon, in partnership with Verified Carbon, are pleased to announce the collaboration with EDF Renewables North America (EDFR) for the development of DAC facilities in Texas. Return Carbon and EDF Renewables North America (EDFR) have executed a Term Sheet for delivering renewable power to large-scale DAC facilities in Texas, which will yield cost-competitive certified carbon removal credits. Together with Skytree, the DAC technology partner, and Verified Carbon, bringing geological sequestration expertise, Return Carbon aims to develop 500,000 tonnes per year of negative emissions. This landmark collaboration promises to revolutionize carbon removal efforts by integrating DAC technology, a direct renewable power source, and Gulf Coast’s rich geological carbon storage capacity.
