Is it possible to capture carbon from buildings?
Soletair Power has developed a solution for extracting CO2 from building ventilation systems to reach net zero or even carbon negative building projects.

Buildings are responsible for 37% of global CO2 emissions. However, industry-specific regulations and global requirements (e.g. Paris Agreement) are pushing to reduce 50% of CO2 emissions by 2030.
Soletair Power has developed a carbon capture technology which employs temperature vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) to segregate CO2 with 99.9% purity. Apart from capturing CO2 from air passing through HVAC systems, the company has also developed an indoor CO2-filtering air purifier for office´s meeting rooms, and an outdoor CO2 capture system.
Another benefit is that such captured CO2 can be used for other applications, such as for concrete production.
