Phlair is a direct air capture (DAC) technology company focused on developing low-cost, scalable solutions for removing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. The company's core innovation is the Hydrolyzer, an electrochemical device that enables energy-efficient generation of acid and base as part of its DAC process. Phlair's technology is designed to be fully compatible with intermittent, behind-the-meter renewable electricity such as solar power, distinguishing it from many other DAC approaches that require continuous or grid-supplied energy.
Founded in 2022 by Malte, Paul, and Steffen, Phlair's mission is to develop the most cost-effective and scalable direct air capture technology available. The company serves both carbon credit buyers seeking verified, permanent carbon removal and project developers looking to deploy DAC technology for storage, utilization, or point source capture applications. Phlair is progressing through a staged scale-up roadmap, with its Electra 01 pilot capturing 10 tCO2 per year in Germany in early 2025, followed by the Electra 02 system targeting up to 20 tCO2 per year in Canada by late 2025, and a larger Dawn project planned for 15,000+ tCO2 per year by 2030 and beyond.
Phlair has attracted notable partnerships and customers, including a deployment agreement with Canadian carbon removal developer Deep Sky and a deal with Frontier, a prominent advance market commitment for carbon removal. The company has grown to over 30 employees and holds ISO 9001 certification, reflecting its commitment to quality and execution in the emerging carbon removal industry.
