- Heimdal is advancing technology for direct air carbon capture to combat climate change while creating profitable engineering solutions.
- The company aims to provide a scalable and economically viable method to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, contributing to global carbon neutrality goals.
- Heimdal is focused on blending scientific innovation with commercial viability, targeting both environmental impact and market demand for sustainable practices.
Climate change is driven forward at an unprecedented pace due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and land occupation.
Rising temperatures, more frequent natural disasters, and unpredictable weather patterns are just a few of the many consequences of climate change.
The scientific consensus is clear: human activities are releasing massive amounts of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), into the atmosphere, leading to a global average temperature increase of over 1°C since the late 19th century.
Excess carbon is driving climate change, with severe consequences for ecosystems, human health, and the economy. The need to reduce atmospheric carbon levels is urgent, and innovative solutions are required to tackle this challenge.
The Rise of Climate Tech Pioneers
A new wave of innovative companies is emerging to deploy climate-friendly technologies. Heimdal is a leading innovator whose ground-breaking technology is revolutionizing the field of direct air capture (DAC).
Heimdal builds affordable DAC facilities in America to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and store it permanently.
With the potential to reduce atmospheric carbon levels and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, Heimdal's cutting-edge technology has the solution for this urgent problem.
Heimdal's engineering solutions are designed to be not only effective but also economically viable.
The company’s unique approach involves capturing CO2 directly from the air and turning it into a profitable endeavor, making it a win-win for both the environment and the investors.
Carbon Capture: A Scalable Solution
Heimdal has emerged with a superior technology that enables the extraction of CO2 from the atmosphere and with a system to store it in a stable, solid form.
By reducing the overall carbon footprint, this also aligns with the global objective of achieving net-zero emissions. Through its sustainable model, Heimdal is addressing the growing concern of excess atmospheric carbon.
The goals of the company are also closely aligned with the Paris Agreement as per the international climate goals. With scalable solutions for carbon capture, the company also supports global efforts to limit the rise in average temperatures.
It is also the sustainable solutions that the company offers that have helped it in the widespread adoption in the marketplace.
Profitability and Sustainability
Founded by Marcus Lima and Erik Millar, in 2020, and with a clear vision behind Heimdal, the company strives to make significant contributions to reversing climate change through technological innovation.
They envisioned a new linear process that takes nothing but electricity and CO2-heavy seawater and produces useful materials that permanently sequester the gas.
“The carbon markets to make this economically viable have only just been formed. The cost of energy has dropped through the floor as huge solar and wind installations have overturned decades-old power economies. With carbon credits and cheap power come new business models, and Heimdal’s one of them," said Millar.
By developing a model where carbon capture becomes a profitable activity, Heimdal is changing the narrative around climate action.
This dual focus on profitability and sustainability is driving Heimdal’s growth and attracting significant interest from investors.
The company’s strategy is to create a business model that appeals to both environmentally-conscious stakeholders and profit-driven investors.
Heimdal is actively seeking partnerships with industries and governments looking to meet their carbon reduction targets.
With an estimated $3 million in funding, Heimdal has made significant progress since its conception. It is also reflective of the strong investor confidence in its innovative approach to carbon capture.
