What We Do
Nuada is a vertically integrated pure-play carbon capture company that is poised to decarbonise heavy industries through its next generation point-source capture technology. We have combined advanced solid adsorbents (Metal Organic Frameworks or MOFs) with proven vacuum swing technology to vacuum CO2 out of industrial emissions through a “heatless” and solvent-free process. The use of pressure instead of heat represents a step-change innovation that slashes the energy and costs barriers for mass adoption of carbon capture in industry. Nuada builds energy-efficient CO2 filtration machines that enable industrial emitters in hard-to-abate sectors to achieve their Net Zero targets whilst minimising the impact on their bottom line.
