Cleantech Startup Avnos Raises $36 Million to Capture Carbon and Water from the Atmosphere.  

California-based Avnos offers a proprietary Hybrid Direct Air Capture (HDAC) solution that uses only air, electricity and solid sorbents to capture both water and CO2 from the atmosphere. While most DAC solutions require water and heat to capture carbon, Avnos’ technology does not use water or heat, and produces approximately five tons of water for every ton of carbon dioxide captured, enabling a reduced impact and lower energy costs. The funds will be used for the company’s growth and expansion.
