We’re going water positive to achieve carbon negative

Direct Air Capture (DAC) is vital to the global decarbonization effort. At Avnos, we’re passionate about commercializing our unique Hybrid Direct Air Capture (HDAC™) technology to go beyond other forms of DAC and efficiently capture CO2 out of the air anywhere on earth, while delivering more sustainable value.

We’re building HDAC to accelerate the path to Net Zero

Currently, we have one pilot plant in operation in Bakersfield, California, and we are building a second thanks to the support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Office of Naval Research to rapidly scale HDAC. Stay tuned for details about our third and largest commercial demonstration unit, funded in collaboration with major sequestration partners.
