Successful FAT for the first DAC-Unit in an air conditioning system
Successful FAT for DACMA Unit
We are proud to announce that the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for our first DAC-Unit integrated into a building’s ventilation and air conditioning system has been successfully completed. This marks a significant milestone in the innovative project we are implementing together with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) as part of the BMBF-funded Sector Coupling (SEKO)project.
The unit will now be prepared for delivery and installation on the roof of the Institute for Micro Process Engineering (IMVT)building at KIT. Once installed, the system will be used to investigate the synergy between building ventilation and CO₂ capture functions. In addition, the optimized operation of the DAC-Unit in combination with renewable energy sources will be tested in a real-world environment.
This project demonstrates a highly promising new use case for our DACMA units and highlights the flexibility, scalability, and environmental benefits of our technology.
We would like to sincerely thank all our partners and the entire project team for their outstanding dedication and excellent cooperation throughout the FAT phase. Together, we are taking another important step toward sustainable and climate-friendly building technologies.
“In just one year, DACMA GmbH have achieved an exponential progress in the atmospheric carbon capture journey. The strategic alliance with Repsol (both in Venturing Capital and projects) will boost the pace of this highly focused group of outstanding engineers that are persistently looking for every angle of the technology improvement. Take the time to celebrate, acknowledge your success and keep going!!!”
“One of the most relevant projects related to the development of technologies with a negative CO2 effect, the ONLY project in Brazil on Direct Air Capture multi-country Spain, Brazil Germany in Open Innovation. Repsol Sinopec Brazil Corporation, Start Up DACMA and PUC Rio Grande do Sul University. A disruptive commitment to a more decarbonized world. Being part of this project is a privilege and a unique opportunity to add value to society.”
“In collaboration with Phoenix Contact, DACMA has developed an application that contributes to CO2 decarbonization. This technology makes a significant contribution to sector coupling in the All Electric Society and to the sustainable use of energy. I am delighted that two technology-driven companies are working together so efficiently.”
“The DACMA GmbH with Jörg Spitzner and his team are not only valuable partners in our network, but also key initiators and innovators who, with DACMA, are driving forward DAC system engineering in the Hamburg metropolitan region – an essential future climate change mitigation technology.”
“Together with our partner DACMA GmbH, we are delighted to be building the first DAC machine on the HAMBURG BLUE HUB site in the Port of Hamburg. The 30-60 tons output of CO2 annually of the DACMA machine can later be used to produce e-methanol for the Port of Hamburg, for example. This is a joint milestone, as it fits in with the plan to purchase large volumes of synthetic fuels from Power-to-X plants in Africa and South America for Germany through the HAMBURG BLUE HUB”.
