Carbon Collect Ltd is an Ireland-registered company and a subsidiary of Silicon Kingdom Holdings Ltd in the US. It was established to market the MechanicalTree technology, an invention by Dr. Klaus Lackner at Arizona State University (ASU) designed to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via passive direct air capture (PDAC). The captured carbon dioxide can be geologically sequestered or used in industries such as beverage, food, agriculture, and energy.

MechanicalTree
Carbon Collect's MechanicalTree is a 10-meter-tall column equipped with sorbent discs that captures CO2 from the air via passive direct Air Capture (PDAC). Unlike most other direct air capture (DAC) technologies, the MechanicalTree concept does not require fans for driving ambient air into the capture column. Captured CO2 is released via a regeneration process that depends on the sorbent type. The MechanicalTree is reported to have the capacity to capture 80kg CO2/day and uses location-specific sorbents. Carbon Collect states that this design has the potential to capture 1000 times more CO2 than natural trees.
