Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Skytree harnesses CO2 from ambient air through the power of decentralized direct air capture technology (DDAC). By providing local, onsite CO2 generation across multiple markets including indoor farming, greenhouses, algae farms as well as CO2-as-feedstock, Skytree enables transitioning away from fossil fuel based industrial processes and avoids transport to where the CO2 is needed.
Born out of the European Space Agency (ESA), during the development of a CO2 scrubber, space scientists evaluated over 50 sorbents. Skytree founder, Max Beaumont, was a system engineer on this team and spun out the technology through the ESA incubator program ‘ESA-BIC’. With a decade of research & development, the company has since registered 17 patents, in 5 patent families across US, Europe and China and is ready to monetize the technology through multiple use cases.
