Carbyon has unveiled Carbyon GO: a DAC machine that hopes to set a new benchmark for carbon capture performance.
Carbyon GO is a step toward large-scale carbon removal, introducing the fastest DAC machine to date. With only 1 kg of sorbent material, it captures 3 tons of CO2 per year, comparable to 150 trees. Designed as a game-changer in carbon capture, Carbyon GO's breakthrough technology delivers unparalleled speed and scalability, helping accelerate the path toward climate impact at scale.

The next generation of carbon capture technology
Carbyon GO is a compact, fast, and scalable Direct Air Capture machine. By utilizing Carbyon's proprietary sorbent technology, Carbyon GO captures CO₂ 200 times faster than conventional solutions, achieving 90% CO₂ saturation in just 100 seconds. This means CO₂ capture is significantly faster and therefore more cost-effective than any technology demonstrated so far.
Unlike traditional large-scale systems, Carbyon's GO modular design allows for easier installation and scaling, opening up new possibilities for worldwide deployment in areas where sustainable energy is abundant. This compact and all-electric design allows for a new era of affordable, accessible, and scalable carbon capture solutions.

The machine design consists of a set of identical sorbent units that can be replicated and scaled. Carbyon envisions a future where mass production of these systems helps capture gigatons of CO₂ annually. The company aims to have their large-scale production in place in the early 2030's, reshaping the landscape of carbon capture worldwide.
The potential of this breakthrough technology is underscored by the growing Direct Air Capture market, which is expected to reach up to €1 trillion by 2050. As DAC technology continues to improve and become more affordable over time, Carbyon is in a strong position to lead this fast-growing sector, creating both a cleaner future and new opportunities for carbon as a resource, whether through sustainable fuels, agriculture, or feedstock for building materials.
The future is now
CO₂ levels in the atmosphere have reached an alarming 420 parts per million, the highest in two million years. Climate change is intensifying at an alarming rate, and while reducing emissions is critical, it won't be enough to reverse the damage already done. To achieve the global climate goals set for 2050, large-scale green carbon capture is essential to use for both carbon removal and carbon utilization.
Traditional direct air capture methods have proven too large, expensive, and complex to scale in a way that can make a meaningful impact. The industry requires a breakthrough technology that is scalable, affordable, and accessible. Carbyon GO delivers just that and serves as a blueprint for the next generation of DAC technology.
"The future starts now," said Carbyon CEO Hans De Neve. "With Carbyon GO, we show that affordable and scalable Direct Air Capture is more than just an idea. We are making it a reality. This is only the first step toward a future where carbon capture at gigaton scale becomes achievable."
