United Kingdom · Renewables & Environment

Airhive is a UK-based climate tech company founded in 2022, specializing in direct air capture (DAC) technology to address climate change. Headquartered in Whyteleafe, England, with a subsidiary in London, Airhive focuses on rapid carbon removal using its proprietary fluidized bed reactor system. The company targets industries looking for decarbonization solutions and opportunities for carbon credit generation. Airhive's DAC system captures CO₂ from ambient air in less than 0.1 seconds using a non-toxic, metal oxide-based sorbent. The process involves two stages: adsorption, where over 99.99% of CO₂ is stripped from the air, and desorption, which releases the captured CO₂ for storage or industrial use. The company offers modular DAC systems designed for low energy consumption, carbon credits for tradable offsets, and CO₂ utilization for various applications, including e-fuels and construction materials. Airhive is also committed to sorbent recycling, repurposing spent materials to reduce mineral extraction.
