Global Thermostat

The U.S. government is in the midst of a historic move to advance our climate goals: It’s making its first-ever investment in removing carbon dioxide from the air. We’re ecstatic to be a part of this landmark milestone. Our technology will be used in two of the nine Direct Air Capture projects chosen in Phase I of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Carbon Dioxide Removal Prize. Now, both proposals will compete for a carbon credit Purchase Agreement with the DOE worth up to $3 million for each project. There’s no question: To achieve a sustainable, net-zero economy, we’re going to need robust, state-of-the-art technology that pulls carbon from the air. For years, Global Thermostat has been hard at work to develop this instrumental technology. Now, we’re excited for the support of the DOE to develop a pathway toward a rigorous and verifiable market for carbon removal credits. For one of the proposals, Global Thermostat would collaborate with Fervo Energy to integrate Direct Air Capture with geothermal-generated heat and electricity. Fervo and Global Thermostat have already completed a Class V cost estimate with top engineering firm Kiewit for this project. The second project comes from Carbon America, and also features Global Thermostat’s technology. The project aims to leverage both companies’ Colorado presence to demonstrate a scalable model in the state for carbon removal. By combining the companies’ technology, sequestration sites, and expertise, the project would catalyze more rapid build-out of decarbonization solutions.  With Zero Carbon Systems, we are confident that we can drive a low-cost and low-energy system that is highly scalable, to the megaton level and beyond. Our mission to restore the Earth's thermostat is well within reach. #DirectAirCapture #CO2 #CarbonRemoval #CarbonCapture

One year ago today Global Thermostat launched the United States’ first kiloton-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) commercial demonstration unit. Capable of removing 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (a kiloton) from the atmosphere per year depending on local climate, we call this module the ‘K-Series.’ Our team of over 30 engineers, technicians, and operators was joined by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, U.S. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Sarah Forbes of the White House Climate Policy Office, and corporate partners, investors, and environmental NGO leaders to celebrate the achievement.    We need to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere over the coming decades, and this machine marked a significant milestone for us and the industry’s journey to gigaton-scale removal.    Since launching the K-Series, we’ve seen increasing global demand for Global Thermostat’s advantaged and advanced DAC solution and have been scaling in multiple dimensions to meet the moment: ✅ We completed a DOE-funded engineering design with Black & Veatch, Sargent & Lundy, and other industry leaders for our megaton ‘M-Series’ embodiment for climate-scale applications ✅ We commissioned our first ’T-Series’ containerized DAC unit - designed to remove from tonnes to tens of tonnes per year from the atmosphere and aimed at smaller commercial and pilot applications ✅ Secured our participation in several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) DAC Hubs ✅ Advanced a growing number of signature carbon removal and carbon utilization projects with a diverse range of aligned partners globally ✅ Establish strategic partnerships with both Tokyo Gas Asia Pte. Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation and launched Global Thermostat Japan to meet the growing demand for DAC solutions by leading Asian companies operating around the world ✅ Significantly increased our team of business leaders, engineers, and scientists with deep experience in industry and scaling revolutionary technologies ✅ Expanded our world-class research and engineering facilities in Denver, Colorado to enhance our ability to deploy ✅ And more! We’ve come a long way over a last year, and further we must go! We’re committed to contributing to the positive, sustainable, and equitable development of the circular carbon economy. If you're looking to partner with a Direct Air Capture company to ensure this ecosystem evolves in a way that is good for people, profits, and planet, we’d love to hear from you.

Last week, we were thrilled that our SVP Commercial Development, Kenn Kerr, was asked to participate in the Western Governors' Association's Decarbonizing The West workshop, an initiative of Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon. Kenn joined Governor Mark Gordon, Newsha Ajami, PhD of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Matt Fry of the Great Plains Institute for a panel to explore how close stakeholder collaboration, along with regional and community partnerships, can advance the development and deployment of carbon removal technologies, including Direct Air Capture.   Decarbonization strategies and technologies like DAC can position Western states at the forefront of innovation, reduce the harmful effects of carbon emissions on the environment, and create significant new employment and economic opportunities. Global Thermostat is proudly headquartered in Colorado, where Governor Jared Polis and his administration are also working hard to spur the development of a smart, robust carbon management ecosystem. Global Thermostat applauds and is proud to support these efforts to bring stakeholders together to form integrated solutions across the carbon management ecosystem in the west (and beyond) to rapidly deploy and scale decarbonization solutions! Thank you to Governor Gordon and the WGA for the rich discussion!   #WGA #DecarbonizingTheWest #DirectAirCapture #DAC 

Excited to have Nicholas Moore Eisenberger, Head of Market Development, Policy and Engagement, join Kelly Cummins, Douglas Chan, Chris Gould and Danny Broberg for a conversation on how to build successful DAC Hubs at the Bipartisan Policy Center’s DAC Day 2024. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies are an essential part of the toolkit needed to reach net-zero emissions, and the United States is leading the world in DAC demonstration and early deployment thanks to key government initiatives like the DAC Hubs and strong private sector investments in carbon removal. There are many challenges in scaling this nascent industry and it’s both thrilling and critical to collaboratively lean in with diverse leaders across the carbon management space - from technology and industry to policy and finance - to discuss the specific capital and policy requirements to rapidly develop DAC markets in a timeframe that achieves our collective climate targets. A big thank you to Bipartisan Policy Center for holding dedicated space for this multi-stakeholder DAC discussion. #DAC #DACDay2024 #NetZero #Bipartisan #DirectAirCapture #DACHubs
