Soletair Power's Direct Air Capture project received ERDF funding

The Häme Center for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment has awarded Soletair Power a company development grant for the project Improving the efficiency of the Direct Air Capture device.

Soletair Power supplies Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems to connect to the ventilation of buildings, which can be used to capture carbon dioxide from the ventilation air (as well as the ventilation replacement air) in the building.  Hydrocarbons are produced from carbon dioxide using emission-free electrical energy.  In this way, carbon sinks are formed from the properties and the indoor air quality of the properties improves as the carbon dioxide levels decrease.  Examples of targets include airports, office buildings and schools that need to become carbon neutral, as well as large global companies with significant brand value from climate issues.

In the ERDF project, the company is building a carbon capture unit for DAC equipment and making it more efficient.  The project will continue until the end of 2021.
