Skytree featured in Fast Company

Published on 
January 11, 2018

Skytree is proud to be featured in Fast Company in an in-depth article about the Direct Air Capture industry. Read our contribution below:

Skytree, a Dutch startup that makes technology that is already used on the International Space Station to maintain safe levels of CO2, is currently testing ways to make that technology more efficient and cheaper for outdoor use, as well as ways to commercialize it for indoor air purification. Unlike Carbon Engineering, it plans to focus on using CO2 to make products like plastic that can contain carbon through their life cycle, and then be recycled.

“Finding a business model that will fund it is where I see the largest challenge, after bringing down the cost of the technology sufficiently,” says Max Beaumont, CEO and founder of Skytree. “If the funding is there, the systems can be built. We are capable of manufacturing hardware on a large scale–just look at the 90 million cars produced last year. Instead of storing CO2 underground where it has no real value or use case, ultimately we need to affix it inside of building materials or other large-scale commodities, e.g., plastics.”

Navigating the Path to Effective Carbon Removal: Our Perspective

The conversation around Direct Air Capture (DAC) and its role in addressing climate change is active and important. Like any evolving technology, DAC faces questions and scrutiny, which we see as vital for continuous improvement across the industry. We believe it's a good moment to share our perspective on some key topics and reaffirm our commitment to developing robust and effective DAC solutions.

Our Wins in 2024

2024 has been an exciting year of growth and innovation for Skytree as we continue to push the boundaries of direct air capture (DAC) technology to capture CO₂ directly from ambient air and utilize it in a circular way to create valuable products or permanently store it to reduce atmospheric concentrations. With growing global demand for both removal and utilization, Skytree has focused on innovation, building strategic partnerships, and international expansion to accelerate DAC deployments. This timeline highlights the key milestones we achieved throughout the year, demonstrating our commitment to addressing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors and helping offset historical emissions.

Transforming sunlight into eFuel: Skytree Stratus selected by Forschungszentrum Jülich for innovative Power-to-X research project

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.

Innovative air-to-growth: Koppert Cress sets new standard with DAC technology in greenhouses, backed by Division Q’s Investment in Skytree

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.
