Our Novel Technology

GAIA’s Bio-DAC™ technology uniquely combines Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) with Direct Air Capture (DAC) to deliver a powerful, nature-aligned carbon removal solution.

+

Unlike any other engineered CDR technology, our system captures CO₂ in two unique ways, in every cycle:
  1. Directly from the atmosphere using a liquid DAC capture system.
  2. Through biomass waste streams - by isolating CO₂ that was absorbed during photosynthesis but then left unused by bio-industrial processes.
By tapping into the power and primary principles of biology and chemistry, we designed a system that is scalable, synergistic, and deeply integrated with natural and industrial cycles.
