Shape the Future of Climate Tech with Phlair!
Fossil fuels have powered our economy for decades—at the cost of pollution and a changing climate. At Phlair, we’re reversing that equation. With our cost-efficient, scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, we pull CO₂ from the air to either store it permanently or repurpose it into CO₂-negative chemicals. Join us in enabling a carbon-negative future.
We’ve developed a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, enabling scalable CO₂ capture. With partners like Frontier Climate, Stripe, and Shopify, we’re on track to make a global impact.
Our Project Dawn is our flagship initiative, setting the foundation to scale our technology and remove millions of tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere. We're one of the only seven DAC companies with a proven offtake agreement. Phlair is poised to become a technology leader, leveraging renewable energy and low-cost DAC to provide clean energy solutions that go beyond carbon removal.
We're building for the 3-5% who are energized by winning and thrive under pressure. Our pace demands people who see excellence as non-negotiable and execution as everything. If you need extensive structure or prefer playing it safe, we're probably not the right fit.

Phlair is revolutionizing carbon removal. With its hydrolyzer-based Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, Phlair enables scalable and low-cost CO2 capture from ambient air.
Phlair’s system employs a pH-swing mechanism for efficient CO₂ capture and release, allowing for permanent storage or use in CO2-negative chemicals.
Founded in 2022 and based in Munich, Germany, Phlair serves prominent customers in carbon removal. The company is currently working on its first commercial plant, Dawn, in Canada. The 20,000 tCO2/year plant will deliver carbon removal credits to customers like Google, Stripe, JPMorganChase, Shopify, and H&M.
Become a leader in carbon removal by offsetting your residual emissions with our high-quality DAC credits, or by purchasing our technology to develop your own project.
