Ucaneo Berlin-Marzahn DAC

Ucaneo inaugurated its first industrial-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant at the Berlin.Industrial.Group (B.I.G.) high-tech Campus in Berlin-Marzahn, Germany on July 2, 2026. The facility has a nameplate capacity of 150 metric tonnes of CO₂ per year and uses Ucaneo's proprietary electrochemical, lung-inspired DAC process: a biomimetic solvent captures CO₂ from ambient air at room temperature and releases it at over 99.9% purity through a fully electrified, zero-thermal-energy process that responds flexibly to renewable power availability and grid pricing. A portion of the captured CO₂ will be permanently stored in geological formations; the remainder is directed to industrial utilization streams including sustainable aviation fuel, methanol, and food and beverage applications. The Berlin-Marzahn plant follows Ucaneo's 30–50 tonne per year industrial pilot commissioned on the same campus in 2025, and a follow-on commercial plant with approximately ten times the Berlin-Marzahn capacity is in engineering with construction slated to begin in 2027.
