Aircapture is a Berkeley, California climate-tech company commercializing modular direct air capture (DAC) systems. Its containerized units extract pure, beverage- and industrial-grade CO2 directly from the atmosphere on demand at customer sites, displacing fossil-derived and trucked CO2 supply. Software and controls optimize capture performance and energy use across deployments. By making DAC revenue-positive and modular rather than reliant on mega-scale plants, Aircapture targets immediate commercial markets such as food and beverage, greenhouses, e-fuels and chemicals while building toward durable carbon removal. The company won the $50M XPRIZE Carbon Removal milestone and is scaling next-generation containerized units across North America, Europe and Asia.
