FLOW

Carbon removal that can scale anywhere

Passive air contactors (no big fans), solar heat (no boilers), and modular blocks — a platform built to hit sub-$100/t and scale fast.

Solar regeneration field concept
The problem

Cutting emissions isn’t enough —
we must also remove CO₂ already in the air.

DAC today is slowed by high heat needs, large fans, complex plants, and land/energy friction, resulting in costs of $300–800/t. To unlock mass buyers and public programs, we need sub-$100/t.

Our universal platform

One capture module + one simple chemistry.
The regeneration block is chosen based on local conditions and economics.

Sodium carbonate/bicarbonate chemistry with a 10×10×2 m contactor (falling-film working zone). At night a bicarbonate buffer stores CO₂; by day we regenerate.

Capture Module

Natural wind (~5 m/s) flows across the 10×10×2 m working zone (~500 m³/s). CO₂ reacts with sodium carbonate solution.

24/7 Buffer

Buffer size ~80–100 m³ per module (2.0–2.5 M NaHCO₃) stores night capture as bicarbonate for day-time regeneration.

Grid Flex via Buffer

The same buffer lets us absorb surplus electricity to drive electro-regen or synthesize fuels — storing energy in molecules and stabilizing prices.

Why we start with solar

Fastest, de-risked path to sub-$100/t at scale.

Each module uses ~1,500–1,800 m² of solar field in sunny sites. Simple films + vacuum + buffer keep CAPEX/OPEX low while maintaining throughput.

KPI 3.2–4.6 kgCO₂/m²·day • water <0.1 m³/t

Three tracks, one platform

Pick the most economic regeneration method per site.

Solar Track

Use-case: Sunny, windy regions (MENA, North Africa & Southern Europe, US Southwest).

Cost (LCOC): $93–104/t, path to $70–85/t.

Risks: Membrane life, dust. Hedged by materials testing & engineering controls.

Slag Track

Use-case: Ports, steel/cement plants (circular hubs).

Cost (LCOC): Often net-positive after product sales.

Risks: Logistics & feedstock quality. Hedged by supply contracts & QC.

Electro Track

Use-case: Nodes with cheap/negative electricity (Nordics).

Cost (LCOC): $100–160/t (power-dependent).

Risks: Higher CAPEX & price volatility. Hedged by e-fuel offtakes & grid services.

Unit economics

Scale without limit.

50-Module Park Profit
(100,000 t/yr)

Annual operating profit (before finance & tax), assuming a mature solar-track cost base of $85/t at various carbon credit sale prices.

Energy profile per ton CO₂

  • Capture & solar regen: 0.20–0.30 MWh
  • Electro track (DAC-only): 0.8–1.3 MWh
  • Compression to storage: ~0.10–0.15 MWh
Market Opportunity

The market is growing fast.

Buyers want high-quality, durable CO₂ removal with clear measurement. We target a 10-15% market share by 2050.

Global Need

~0.5–1.5 Gt CO₂/yr of removal is needed by 2030, and ~5–10 Gt/yr by 2050 (IPCC & IEA).

Market Size

At $100–200 per ton, this implies a market of ~$50–300B/yr by 2030 and ~$0.5–2.0T/yr by 2050.

Current DAC Price

High-quality, durable DAC credits are sold today for $200–$600 per ton, mainly to corporate buyers.

How we empower partners

What partners get from Flow-CC

Plug‑and‑Play Kit

We supply equipment to fabricate the contactor and solar modules on-site, plus controls. Local crews can build and maintain the sites.

Monitoring & Credits

We provide monitoring software and reporting for high-integrity credits, verified under standards like Isometric or Puro.earth.

Deal Support

We offer standard contracts, safety protocols, operational training, and plan a price-floor fund to protect operators from volatility.

Roadmap

2025–2026 R&D → 2026–2027 Pilot, Certification & Early Deliveries

R&D (’25–’26)

Material testing, solar-packet durability, MRV stack, pilot sites scoping.

Pilot (’26–’27)

1–2 KTPA multi-module farm; certification; first offtakes.

Scale-up (’27+)

Replicable parks (10→50+ modules) based on local economics; mix tracks as needed.
