Skytree, an Amsterdam-based climate tech company, recently unveiled Stratus Hub, a groundbreaking modular solution designed for the removal and storage or utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2). This innovation was announced on the company’s website last week. Stratus Hub aims to address the critical challenge of CO2 emissions by offering a versatile and scalable system that can be integrated into various settings to effectively capture and manage carbon emissions.
The modular nature of Stratus Hub allows it to be customized to meet the specific needs of different applications, from industrial facilities to commercial buildings. This adaptability ensures that it can be deployed in a wide range of environments, making it a practical solution for reducing carbon footprints across multiple sectors. By removing CO2 from the atmosphere and providing options for its storage or conversion into useful products, Stratus Hub not only helps mitigate climate change but also creates new opportunities for carbon utilization.
Skytree’s introduction of Stratus Hub reflects its commitment to leveraging advanced technology to combat environmental issues. The company’s innovative approach positions it at the forefront of the climate tech industry, contributing to global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions. As industries and governments seek effective ways to manage and reduce carbon emissions, solutions like Stratus Hub are likely to play a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable future.
Following the launch of their decentralized direct air capture (DAC) product, Stratus, the Stratus Hub is designed for diverse applications in industries such as cement, e-fuels, chemicals, food and beverage, greenhouses, and geological sequestration.
The hub can capture between 10,000 tons and over 1 million tons of CO2 annually per site, making it suitable for any climate and location.
Its modular design supports scalable deployment, enabling projects to expand as CO2 removal needs grow.
This latest release marks Skytree’s continued innovation in the past year, with two prior products aimed at transforming CO2 supply for sustainable food production in controlled-environment agriculture.
Unlike many DAC projects still in planning, Skytree has already deployed its technology at multiple sites, showcasing its advanced modular and scalable DAC systems, according to the company.
The global availability of Stratus Hub introduces a unique approach to large-scale DAC deployment, as our mass manufacturing capabilities allow us to reduce costs through economies of scale and automation, said Skytree’s CEO, Rob van Straten.
Skytree leverages existing infrastructure and industrial waste heat to minimize energy consumption and further cut costs, aiming to revolutionize carbon storage and utilization.
Its innovations are bolstered by academic partnerships and industrial collaborations, enhancing capture materials for increased efficiency and lower energy use.
The Stratus systems can be powered by electricity alone or combined with thermal heat from geothermal or industrial waste sources.
They deliver gas or liquid CO2 with 90% to 99.99% purity, suitable for various industrial applications or storage processes.
All units are connected to Skytree Cloud, the firm’s internet of things (IoT) platform, for remote management and maintenance, ensuring seamless operation.
As the first DAC company capable of large-scale modular deployment, Skytree has secured long-term agreements with key suppliers in Europe and North America to meet the growing demand.
Its aim is to capture at least 10 million tons of CO2 in the coming years through widespread Stratus Hub projects, contributing significantly to global climate goals.
