About the company:
At Ucaneo we develop a pioneering Direct Air Capture technology. Ucaneo's state-of-the-art electrochemical technology mimics the human lung and how CO2 is managed in the human body. Utilising electricity and a specialised biomimetic solvent, Ucaneo removes atmospheric CO2 at continuous regeneration at room temperature, concentrating CO2 into a pure gas ready for industrial use. The DAC technology is highly energy-efficient and compatible with variable intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy, allowing for energy price arbitrage and a flexible, on-demand CO2 removal.
Climate change is a global problem and needs to be tackled at scale. Therefore, we set the goal to capture 0.5 GT of CO2 from the air by 2035 - roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined!
After the first promising results we are currently scaling-up our technology. If you want to join an ambitious team with lots of freedom and growth check out our career page. We are looking for talents in the area of chemical engineering, electrochemistry and mechanical engineering and cannot wait to meet you!
