About Octavia Carbon
Octavia Carbon is the Global South’s first Direct Air Carbon Capture (DACC) company. We aim to use Kenya’s geothermal energy, geology and talent to radically accelerate DACC down the cost curve. Humanity knows how to make climate tech cheap – leveraging global supply chains, we have achieved this for solar PV, batteries, and numerous other tech. Octavia Carbon’s mission is to leverage Kenya’s unique endowments to make the same happen for DACC. Octavia Carbon designs and builds DACC machines using well-proven amine-based air filters to supply our global partners with cost-effective CO2 solutions. At the same time, we are working to bring online East Africa’s large potential for DACC + geological CO2 sequestration. Our first commercial machines, coming online in early 2023, will cement us as a trusted partner. By 2025, our aim is to make Kenya the world’s most cost-effective hub to build and deploy DACC machines.
