Skytree Opens New Office in Nashville

Skytree, a Dutch carbon capture startup, is expanding around the globe with a new office in Nashville and Toronto.

The company’s technology is based on the carbon scrubbers used on the International Space Station, which remove the excess CO2 produced from the breath of astronauts. Skytree’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) captures CO2 from the air. This creates a new source of usable CO2 which previously was wasted. With control over the CO2, a facility can make sure they have the exact amount of CO2 where and when they need it.

At present, Skytree has two carbon-sucking devices – Skytree Cumulus, which produces 20kg of CO2 daily and Skytree Stratus, which captures up to 1000kg per day.

Skytree selected Nashville as a result of the recent plans announced by the Biden-Harris Administration to provide up to $1.8 billion in funding for DAC technologies.

“The US continues to demonstrate growing demand for proven, cost-effective, scalable DAC technology driven by the needs of industry and with the backing by government,” said CEO Rob van Straten.
