Dotz Nano Limited (“Dotz”), a leading developer of innovative climate and industrial nanotechnologies, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with direct air capture (DAC) leader, CarbonCapture Inc. (CCI) to expand the evaluation of Dotz’s high-performance DAC sorbent material.
CCI recently completed preliminary gram-scale testing of p-AMP, Dotz’s proprietary DAC sorbent, which demonstrated high-potential performance characteristics. Under the MOU, the collaboration will now advance to proof-of-concept evaluation at the kilogram scale, using a structured form of the sorbent material.
Dotz CEO, Sharon Malka, said: “We are excited to collaborate with CCI, one of the leading global developers of DAC technologies, to further evaluate our innovative sorbent material for potential deployment in their planned DAC hubs. CCI’s extensive experience in sorbent development, performance assessment, and system integration, along with their decision to proceed with kilogram-scale evaluation, endorses our sorbent’s performance and its competitive position in the DAC materials space.”
CCI’s Chief Technology Officer, Saeb Besarati, said: “We are very impressed by the performance of Dotz’s sorbent and share their view that innovation in sorbent materials is a key lever for reducing the cost of CO2 capture and enabling gigaton-scale deployment as a pathway to reversing climate change. We look forward to the next phase of evaluation and hope to further expand our collaboration.”
Dotz’s p-AMP is a powdered, polymer-based material engineered for maximum CO2 adsorption from ambient air. Specifically tailored for DAC applications, it is functionalized with chemical groups that enable ultra-efficient chemisorption. Its unique surface modification enables it to be shaped into structured forms, making it suitable for integration into advanced DAC systems. This next-generation sorbent offers high capture capacity, enables low-temperature regeneration, and has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of CO2 capture.
According to the International Energy Agency’s 2024 CCUS database, the solid sorbent DAC market is projected to exceed US $1.5 billion by 2027. Solid sorbent technologies are expected to dominate future DAC deployments, presenting significant growth opportunities for innovators and partners in this rapidly expanding sector.
