Society does not have the technology...

...to implement carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at the scales required to reach the Paris climate targets, nor a full understanding of the potential efficacy of these methods or their potential environmental and human impacts.

High Resource Requirements

Current technologies require large amounts of energy or absorbents to capture CO2, oftentimes resulting in a net increase in emissions.

Siting Limitations

Issues arising from size, energy needs, or storage limit where CDR solutions can be built.

High Cost

The net result is high capital and operating costs, inhibiting broad scalability.

Unclear Revenue Model

Most solutions bury or store captured CO2, without a robust monetization model without a clear payback model.

Innovating the future

The Promise of Distributed CDR (Carbon Dioxide Removal)

Pür Plasma dissociates CO₂ into its constituent elements (CO₂ → C + O₂) at low energy, with no absorbents, catalysts, or combustion. The result is the first carbon removal platform that actually pencils out: low cost per metric ton, a saleable carbon commodity on the back end, and a footprint small enough to deploy almost anywhere.

Low power consumption

Runs on 120V, with no chemicals, catalyst, combustion, heat, or water. Ozone free and no byproducts.

First Pass Efficiency

Electron energy so effective in creating healthy air is re-focused on breaking the bonds of greenhouse gases.

Target under $20/Metric Ton

Cost effective to produce to sell at scale at a consumer friendly price.

Low capital requirement

A single Plasma powered system is estimated to pull the carbon equivalent of planting 40 trees per year. Deploy where the emissions are.

Deploy anywhere

A single Pür Plasma system needs no water, combustion, catalyst, or storage site. That sidesteps the siting limits that lock other CDR plants into remote areas. Air is everywhere — CDR should be too.

Graphite collection

When the plasma front end is integrated with a collection backend, molecular carbon can be collected into a valuable amorphous carbon or a downstream allotrope. In fact, we've already collected 95% pure carbon in a 2026 POC.

Other gases

The same plasma field that dissociates CO₂ can also handle other monetizable gases like methane. Beyond CDR, plasma can expand into other use cases like point source emissions, transportation, methane cracking, and commodity recovery (including hydrogen).

AIRPHX Climate Solutions

Meet ACS, our climate solutions arm.

AIRPHX Climate Solutions (ACS) is the dedicated venture scaling Pür Plasma for greenhouse gas removal. The same core technology that's been deployed across thousands of indoor air installations is now being engineered for Carbon Dioxide Removal, methane cracking, and other point-source emissions.
