AspiraDAC is pioneering a global first of its kind Direct Air Capture (DAC) project using modular and scalable renewable energy (solar) powered units to permanent geological storage.
This project will be a stepping stone to place AspiraDAC and Australia in a unique position to play a leading role in this emerging industry by harnessing Australia’s ideal conditions for solar energy, due to high solar intensity and close proximity to some of the world’s best geological sequestration sites.
World's First Solar-Powered DAC Project
With Federal Government funding, Corporate Carbon has committed to:
Deliver 1 tCO2 per day (tpd) DAC plant, co-located within existing large-scale CCS project
Demonstrate progression towards ‘stretch goal’ of <$20/t CO2 for compress, transport and storage
First of its kind demonstration of DAC -> CCS
Secure revenue stream from CORCs, ACCUs and carbon removal offtake agreements
Operate for at least one year and measure performance (throughput, efficiency, sequestration)
Credit reporting on the project under the ERF (if eligible) and claim credits for CO2 stored
Critical evaluation of project financial viability considering Australian market’s conditions
AspiraDAC has an exclusive licence to Southern Green Gas technology
Adsorption – Desorption technology, using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF), essentially a molecular sponge
Low temperature desorption provided by resistive heating, avoids use of steam
Powered exclusively by renewable energy
Modular and scalable
Fully recyclable materials
Strategically located - to be sited at existing or future CCS storage hubs
