Patented eMethanol-based energy carrier produced in a giga plant called “The Modern Forest”, in the sunbelt of the Earth where solar energy is cheap and unlimited.
The OBRIST DAC+ technology removes CO2 from the atmosphere efficiently. It works with readily available materials, operates at low temperatures even in the hottest environmental conditions, and can function continuously using solar energy. Additionally, it extracts water from the air during the CO₂ capture process, even in desert regions, making it a more versatile and eco-friendly solution.
The DAC system is designed to operate as a continuous process and can be scaled for global deployment and CO₂ capture demands.
It works at low temperatures and pressures, minimizing energy consumption and making it cost-effective and deployable at large scales.
Obrist DAC® extracts water from the air during the CO₂ capture process in closed material flows. It does not require fresh chemicals or water to run the process, making it self-sustaining even in arid climates, which is essential for producing hydrogen through electrolysis for Sub Zero® Methanol.
Sub Zero® Methanol is an green methanol-based energy carrier produced using solar power and CO₂ captured by the Obrist DAC® technology. It offers a 100% renewable alternative to fossil fuels and can be easily used in existing energy infrastructure.
During production, more CO2 is captured than emitted, making Sub Zero® Methanol not just carbon-neutral but climate-positive.
Its energy yield is 50 times higher than that of modern biofuels, providing an efficient and scalable energy solution .
Suitable for a range of applications, can easily be used in the existing infrastructure – from power plants to industry, as heating energy, for chemical use and for transportation and mobility.
By using solar energy from the Earth’s sunbelt and integrating waste heat recovery, the production of aFuel® is both energy-efficient and economically viable .
cSink® is the result of transforming captured CO2 into solid carbon (Sub Zero Carbon Fiber), which can be stored safely and indefinitely. Using the same inputs as green methanol production (hydrogen and CO₂), the process creates a stable carbon sink , being the key to make Sub Zero® Methanol the world’s first climate-positive energy carrier.
Converts excess CO₂ of green methanol production into solid graphite, preventing it from re-entering the atmosphere.
The process is designed for large-scale deployment and does not release harmful gases, offering a safe and sustainable way to manage carbon emissions .
Solid graphite can be reused in different industries (carbon fibre, fertilizer, building industry, etc) as a valuable resource.
The Modern Forest integrates a climate-positive closed-loop system, not only provides a renewable fuel but actively reduces atmospheric CO₂ levels, making it an innovative solution to combat climate change.
