RepAir Carbon signed commercial agreement for Pelican DAC hub project in Louisiana

‍SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL --- 22nd January 2025 ---  RepAir Carbon US Inc., developer of an energy-efficient electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, today announced a commercial agreement with Shell US Gas and Power, LLC (Shell) and Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas) to act as a key technology provider for the Pelican – Gulf Coast Carbon Removal DAC Hub (Pelican), a project to evaluate the feasibility of building a direct air capture facility in Louisiana.

‍

Under the agreement, Shell and Mitsubishi Corporation will provide RepAir with up to $3 million in development funding, contingent upon delivery of project milestones, to accelerate engineering and manufacturing capabilities for RepAir's proprietary electrochemical DAC technology, to be piloted within Pelican.

‍

Pelican is an early-engineering study that evaluates what is required to deploy DAC technologies at commercial scale, starting with an initial capacity of CO2 removal and scaling to higher capacity with time. The study has received grant funding from the US Department of Energy’s DAC hub program, aligned with the US Department of Energy goal to establish large-scale carbon removal infrastructure and reinforce America’s global competitiveness in clean energy technologies while creating jobs in the region. The partners share an ambition to assess potential for RepAir’s technology and future scaling.

"This project is another milestone in scaling next-generation carbon removal technology" said Amir Shiner, CEO of RepAir Carbon. "Through this agreement with two global energy leaders, we're accelerating our transition to commercial-scale manufacturing. This will establish us as a key equipment supplier in an ambitious carbon removal project targeting hundreds of kilotons of annual capture capacity by 2030, in a market expected to reach hundreds of millions in value. The timing is significant, as we see major carbon management projects advancing globally, demonstrating growing market confidence in technological solutions for decarbonization."

‍

Pelican’s location in the U.S. Gulf Coast region allows access to extensive CO2 capacity and established infrastructure. The location’s humidity levels are optimal for the performance of RepAir’s technology.

‍

RepAir's technology represents a fundamental advance in carbon capture, consuming just 600 kilowatt-hours of electricity per ton of CO2 removed - 70% less energy than conventional methods. The system operates without liquids or solvents at ambient temperature, making it ideal for mass manufacturing and deployment.
