Global Thermostat

A carbon negative solution

Disruptive Technology

Our transformative technology provides an abundant, reliable source of CO₂ drawn from industrial flues or directly from the air. CO₂ is supplied in any quantity desired via our completely modular design. Our modules each capture up to 40,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, and can be extended as needed

Lowest Cost

We produce CO₂ at the lowest cost in the industry, using energy provided by residual heat rather than electricity. The modularity and scalability of our plants keep capex in line with demand and utilization. Our plants are also easy to integrate with existing point sources, such as power plants

Available Anywhere

Our Direct Air Capture technology with optimized thermodynamics eliminates prohibitive distribution costs prevalent in the industry. CO₂ is supplied on-site wherever needed without cumbersome trucking or expensive distribution infrastructure. We repurpose CO₂ without geographic limitation

Notables

The Industrial Revolution has been a lot of fun but it has pumped a bit too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As we all know, CO2 is not good for our environment. Global Thermostat wants to help our environment with their CO2 capture and use technology. Their device draws CO2 directly from the air—it’s like a scrubber on steroids. It’s cheap, easy to use, a breeze to integrate, and can be placed just about anywhere.
Global Thermostat selected “One of The 50 Most Innovative New Renewable Energy Companies”
Dr. Graciela Chichilnisky was recently selected by IAIR® (International Alternative Investment Review), one of the fastest growing magazines worldwide concerning the global economy and sustainability, as the 2015 CEO of the Year in Sustainability. Her company, Global Thermostat, was also named Best Company for Sustainability in the “Clean Energy Solutions” category for its business model, which captures carbon from air and transforms it into cash.
Graciela Chichilnisky selected "2015 CEO of the Year" by IAIR at the Yale Club,
For addressing global warming by grabbing carbon dioxide out of the air. Our energy-intensive western lifestyle comes with a hefty price: To generate most of our electricity we burn fossil fuels, a process that pumps billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year. That CO2, in turn, helps warm the atmosphere (and explains why 2014 was the hottest year on record). Global Thermostat has a fix: filter air through devices that capture the CO2 with a chemical scrubber.
