"We started Holy Grail to build and scale technologies that can help enable a world where humans live on Earth without destroying the planet and the species that live on it. Our long-term goal is to have the most efficient framework to scale "holy grails" - technologies that the world needs but are hard to build. Modular direct air carbon capture is our first step. The planet needs a carbon capture technology that can be deployed at more than 100 billion tonnes of CO₂ per year, but this is hard to build and does not exist in the world yet. We are also excited about enabling everyone to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere with our modular scrubbers. After we achieve our goal to remove the excess CO₂ from the atmosphere, we will continue to build and scale more holy grails."

Direct air capture removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Direct air capture (DAC) is a versatile tool that can help to mitigate climate change. To do this, the captured CO₂ must be permanently stored so that the concentration of CO₂, a greenhouse gas, is reduced. This reduces the effects of climate change by reducing the amount of the sun's energy that is trapped within the Earth's atmosphere
