Global Thermostat Japan

One year ago today Global Thermostat launched the United States’ first kiloton-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) commercial demonstration unit. Capable of removing 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (a kiloton) from the atmosphere per year depending on local climate, we call this module the ‘K-Series.’ Our team of over 30 engineers, technicians, and operators was joined by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, U.S. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Sarah Forbes of the White House Climate Policy Office, and corporate partners, investors, and environmental NGO leaders to celebrate the achievement.    We need to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere over the coming decades, and this machine marked a significant milestone for us and the industry’s journey to gigaton-scale removal.    Since launching the K-Series, we’ve seen increasing global demand for Global Thermostat’s advantaged and advanced DAC solution and have been scaling in multiple dimensions to meet the moment: ✅ We completed a DOE-funded engineering design with Black & Veatch, Sargent & Lundy, and other industry leaders for our megaton ‘M-Series’ embodiment for climate-scale applications ✅ We commissioned our first ’T-Series’ containerized DAC unit - designed to remove from tonnes to tens of tonnes per year from the atmosphere and aimed at smaller commercial and pilot applications ✅ Secured our participation in several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) DAC Hubs ✅ Advanced a growing number of signature carbon removal and carbon utilization projects with a diverse range of aligned partners globally ✅ Establish strategic partnerships with both Tokyo Gas Asia Pte. Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation and launched Global Thermostat Japan to meet the growing demand for DAC solutions by leading Asian companies operating around the world ✅ Significantly increased our team of business leaders, engineers, and scientists with deep experience in industry and scaling revolutionary technologies ✅ Expanded our world-class research and engineering facilities in Denver, Colorado to enhance our ability to deploy ✅ And more! We’ve come a long way over a last year, and further we must go! We’re committed to contributing to the positive, sustainable, and equitable development of the circular carbon economy. If you're looking to partner with a Direct Air Capture company to ensure this ecosystem evolves in a way that is good for people, profits, and planet, we’d love to hear from you.

🌏 Global Thermostat Japan at the Japan CCUS symposium 🌟 Last week, Global Thermostat CEO Paul Nahi and our managing director Hidetoshi Kikuchi 菊池英俊 had the incredible opportunity to present at the Japan CCUS Symposium hosted by RITE at The University of Tokyo, and we're thrilled to share the incredible response our team received! 🎉 It was truly inspiring to witness the genuine interest and engagement from the audience both during and after the presentation. We received numerous requests from industry experts, professionals, and fellow innovators pouring in for more information and collaboration opportunities, and we are excited to continue the dialogue. It's heartening to see the industry's eagerness to explore and understand the DAC technology we're bringing to the table, and we believe that we were able to begin changing the perception in Japan that DAC is a technology to be realized somewhere between 2040-50 -- it's already here, TODAY! A huge thank-you to RITE for giving us the opportunity to contribute to the conversation, and to 900+ people who attended and participated. Let's continue the collaboration and work together to make a meaningful impact on the journey to a sustainable world! 🌏✨ #CCUS #DAC #DirectAirCapture #Collaboration #GreenTech

Big day! In the spirit of what global leaders are working to accomplish at #COP28, we’re so excited to unveil a design completed in partnership with top engineering firm Sargent & Lundy and other industry leaders, with funding from the Department of Energy, for our ‘M-Series’ Direct Air Capture (DAC) machines that can be grouped to capture over 1 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere. Global Thermostat’s mission is to develop and deploy the world’s best Direct Air Capture technologies to unlock new, air-based sources of carbon for the global economy and address climate change at the scale the latest science demands. Today, we have a full suite of Direct Air Capture modules for our customers’ diverse needs for on-site generation of CO2 from air, from our containerized T-Series mobile modules for small-scale applications in the tens of tonnes per year to our K-Series modules for kilotonne-level needs, and now our M-Series for megatonne, climate-scale projects, for all of which we are seeing growing demand in the market. The M-Series enables large additional economies of scale while leveraging our proven technology and maintaining modular constructability, which translates into significantly lower cost per tonne of CO2 for our customer. With this new design, we’re on track to start delivering carbon dioxide removal and sustainable sources of carbon at a size and on a timeframe that the world needs, and that positions us to be the world’s leading Direct Air Capture provider. We’re actively engaging with potential customers to deploy the M-Series for a diverse array of applications around the world.

Great to be featured in the 'Carbon Removals Around The World' interactive map by Carbon Removals at COP - a living repository of #CDR projects happening across the globe and the people behind them. CDR is necessary to achieve our collective net zero CO2 and GHG emissions globally. A diverse range of CDR solutions are essential, and #DirectAirCapture technologies like ours play a critical role in limiting warming to 1.5°C or below 2°C. At Global Thermostat, our Direct Air Capture solution is focused on helping to restore balance to the earth’s actual thermostat by removing CO2 at a global scale for the benefit of all. #COP28 #CDRCOP28 #CarbonRemoval #DAC

Colleagues across the carbon management spectrum - from the Colorado Energy Office, Carbon Capture Coalition, Bipartisan Policy Center, Carbon America, Third Way, National Wildlife Federation, and more - visited us at our headquarters in Colorado this week. Global Thermostat’s Commerce City facility includes our Kiloton-Scale Direct Air Capture demonstration unit, world-class bench-, pilot- and commercial-scale testing facilities, state-of-the-art labs and analytic capabilities, fabrication workshops, and more. It was a treat to share our progress with this group and hold a multi-stakeholder discussion on the best pathways to deploy DAC at scale. Thank you for joining us! #DirectAirCapure #DAC #carbonmanagement
