 Hello everyone, my name is Galgo by shore and I'm the CTO of mission zero technologies We're a direct air capture company that captures co2 directly from the atmosphere It may not be a surprise to you, but co2 is slowly baking us all to death But we don't think that co2 is necessary the problem. It's how we manage it co2 could be the backbone of our future Economy it could be the solution to our predicament and there's hundreds of gigatons of co2 that can be harnessed from the atmosphere and utilized to make carbon negative products and That's why co2 demand is currently rocketing. It's being Accelerated by new products such as synthetic building materials synthetic fuels and chemicals And by 2050 these products in combined with a carbon dark side that we need to remove could yield a trillion dollar market by 2050, but there's one thing that's getting in the way That's the supply of a green and affordable source of co2 and that's where we come in Our technology is based off the biological reactions that manage co2 in the body. It's the reason why Bread rises why carbonated water tastes tangy It's because co2 reacts with water and forms ions and we've based baked these reactions into our direct air capture technology using off-the-shelf components We've done this because we've taken What already exists we've taken knowledge and concepts that already are known and leveraged them into a technology And this is akin to the philosophy that Nintendo takes in its product design One of the leads architects and Nintendo talks about their philosophy as being lateral thinking with withered technologies Then the Nintendo way of adapting that technology is to not look for the state of the art But but to utilize mature technologies that can be scaled and mass produced cheaply We can't wait 60 years for technologies like lithium batteries PV and LCD screens To come to market. We need to get our technology to market in in this decade and beyond And that's why we don't look for just novel Academic type work, but we actually use what is readily available what is well understood and what is de-risk And that's how we've come to develop our process the first stage of our process borrows from an infrastructure type of technology called cooling towers is a very efficient way of mixing air and liquid together and in our case we captured the co2 from the air and Concentrate it within a liquid The second stage of our process borrows from water purification technologies that extracts that co2 from the liquid Concentrates it and de-gasses it just like a fizzy drink releases co2 this entire process is entirely Electrically driven meaning wherever you have a power source you can capture co2 You just need water and power and then you can develop a process like this It requires no heat it can operate anywhere in the world and when you're plugged into a renewable grid the net Negativity of every ton that you capture is 98 percent and even in a mixed grid that contains some Fossilized sources you can get to net negativities of 90 90 percent as well Our product development is going at quite a pace. We are founded two years ago and an early in 2021 I first proof of concept this technology in the lab with my co-founders Capturing tens of grams of co2 per day since then we've scaled our teams and now catching 100 kilos of co2 per day in our labs and we're using this technology to design pilot plants that can capture tons of co2 per day and up to five tons in our project in Basin Oman, which I'll talk about in a moment and all of this will come to light in the next 18 months to get both Plants up and running We think there's very important synergies for direct air capture as well in the UK About six to ten percent of our wind power is curtailed because there's too much wind for the grid to actually use if we were to integrate into these energy systems and use the excess power because our Technology is dynamic. It can work with the electricity demand that amount of power would equate to eight million tons of co2 every year And so I think direct air captures shouldn't be considered as a technology in itself But a way of integrating with an existing infrastructure to make the lifecycle analysis of both Both processes better Our first project project drive is based in the UK with a commercial partner that takes co2 and waste materials To make building aggregates This was an entirely funded government project We're part way through the design process and the plant will be on the ground by next autumn Taking co2 and feeding it directly into their production process Our second project is based in the deserts of Oman with our partner 4401 This is an Elon Musk fund funded carbon X prize Where we'll be capturing over a thousand tons of co2 per year making carbonated water injecting it under the rocks into Geologic reserves and converting the CO2 to stone into calcium and magnesium carbonates And this project will be entirely renewably driven by solar and biofuels Now the mission zero team three PhD trained co-founders turned entrepreneurs The CEO Nick Chadwick He's got a great experience and great background in project development and tech scaling working in multinational Projects with companies like IBM She'll gosh my other co-founder PhD in chemical engineering and carbon capture He's really been the king of our techno economics while scaling up our technology And we've hired 20 great Employees over the last year. I'm coming from some really exciting companies Our board members include breakthrough energy ventures He was previously ex-arpa Mark Hartney and he's an investor From that venture firm and we have Aisha Iqbal head of ventures from Anglo-American Which is one of the world's largest mining companies And we're also advised by Phil de Luna who if you have not heard of he's sort of a carbon tech entrepreneur scientists and advocate for co2 utilization and Secrestration so with that thank you for your attention. I hope you found that interesting if you want to have a chat later I'll be very pleased to have that
