Kenya's Geothermal Edge in Direct Air Capture

  • Octavia Carbon, a climate-tech startup based in Kenya, is using the country’s geothermal resources to build what may become one of the most scalable Direct Air Capture (DAC) platforms in the Global South.

  • DAC is notoriously energy-intensive, and achieving net-negative emissions requires a clean energy input.

  • Kenya’s geothermal grid, which supplies over 90% of the country’s renewable electricity, provides both the reliability and low-carbon intensity that DAC needs to scale.
