AERBON

AERBON is a Swedish CleanTech company founded in 2022 that provides high-purity CO₂ from Direct Air Capture (DAC) to facilitate the production of sustainable e-fuels. The company's technology is based on research from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and is designed to be powered by waste heat, which allows for a cost-efficient and scalable solution. This approach delivers a reliable, fossil-free carbon feedstock, aiming to accelerate the transition to a circular carbon economy.

The company's mission is to enable a sustainable, fossil-free future by capturing CO₂ directly from the atmosphere. This captured CO₂ serves as a key component for producing carbon-neutral e-fuels, which are presented as a scalable alternative to fossil fuels for industries such as aviation, shipping, and heavy transport. AERBON plans to have a pilot plant with a 50-ton capacity operational by 2026, with a long-term goal of capturing 500 megatonnes per annum by 2050. The firm is backed by the accelerator/incubator KTH Holding.

AERBON's business model focuses on providing its DAC technology to customers, enabling them to reduce their environmental footprint. The company operates in the B2B environmental services market and is positioned to help customers in hard-to-abate sectors achieve their sustainability targets. By integrating into existing infrastructure, the e-fuels produced using AERBON's CO₂ offer a seamless transition for industries reliant on liquid fuels.
