The climate tech firm claims each site can recover up to 250 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere a year
Mission Zero Technologies, a London-based startup specialising in carbon removal technology, has opened its third direct air capture plant.
Direct air capture is the process of taking carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, as opposed to other forms of carbon capture, which are often placed at the source of emissions.

The third deployment of direct air capture technology from the company marks its first international expansion, with the new site based in Alberta, Canada.
According to Mission Zero, the solar-powered system will recover up to 250 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually. The firm’s previous deployments were done in participation with the University of Sheffield for the first and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and OCO Technology for the second.
"I am proud to prove a third commercial use case for our direct air capture technology on a new continent," said Dr Nicholas Chadwick, co-founder and chief executive of Mission Zero.
"This third deployment demonstrates that we’ve established an exportable model for scaling internationally and is a testament to our teams’ ability to deliver critical climate solutions at pace."
Founded in 2020, Mission Zero Technologies last year raised over £20m in its Series A round that saw participation from Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
The company is also signed up to participate in an accelerator programme led by aviation giant International Airlines Group (IAG).
