Alpine X is redefining carbon removal for mountain regions.
Alpine X is redefining carbon removal for mountain regions.
Alpine X began with a bold premise: pair a purpose-built MOF with the environment where it performs best, the Alps. Designed for cold conditions, rapid adsorption, and efficient regeneration, our material benefits naturally from cooler air, constant airflow, and lower pressures found at altitude.
No other DAC platform is designed with this level of precision between chemistry and place. A MOF built for altitude, operating at altitude. This is the Alpine X advantage.

Why the Alps?
Turning mountain air, into climate action.
The Alps offer a natural operating advantage most systems never access. At elevation, the air is clearer, colder, drier, and richer in ultraviolet energy. These conditions allow our sorbents to regenerate faster, enabling more efficient operation than systems deployed at sea level. By designing technology around the physics of the mountains, we unlock a stronger, locally rooted pathway to carbon removal.
The Alps are also where climate change is felt first. Glaciers retreat, snow seasons shorten, and mountain economies experience pressure long before it reaches the lowlands. What happens here signals what’s coming elsewhere, making the Alps both a proving ground and an early warning system.
This is why Alpine X exists here.
Carbon removal isn’t just chemistry, it’s conditions.

Our technology.
"We vacuum the air"
At the core of our system is a carefully selected adsorption material, a MOF whose molecular-scale structure operates like an ultra-precise sieve, binding CO₂ from ambient air with exceptional efficiency. This class of MOFs was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry thanks to the pioneering work of Omar M. Yaghi and colleagues.
Our chosen MOF benefits from decades of development and is ideally suited for high-altitude conditions, with pore geometry, surface properties, and regeneration behavior tuned for cold, fast adsorption cycles. The result: rapid capture–release performance and lower-energy operation that meets the demanding conditions of Alpine deployment.

Direct Air Capture
at altitude.
Our Direct Air Capture technology uses advanced metal–organic framework materials to capture CO₂ directly from the air at over 1500 meters, where clear, cold Alpine conditions naturally enhance efficiency.
Our focus is on high-performance capture, yet the CO₂ we remove holds strong potential for circular, local reuse in the Alps. One promising pathway is mineralization, where captured CO₂ is embedded into low-carbon building materials, supporting regional construction with a more sustainable, circular footprint.

Turning mountain air,
into climate action.
Each Alpine X unit is a compact, modular Direct Air Capture system designed to sit quietly in mountain environments.
It pulls ambient air through specialized filters,
extracts CO₂ at a molecular level, regenerates the filter, and repeats the cycle thousands of times a year.
We pair altitude-optimized conditions with next generation materials to create a system that captures more carbon with less energy. Instead of pushing DAC to work harder in unfavorable climates, we designed it for the place it performs best.

Pilot Program Val d'Isere
Ready to Deploy.
Our goal is to remove one million tonnes of CO₂ per year through a network of modular DAC units deployed across the Alpine Arc.
Each site will act as a local hub for carbon removal scalable, efficient, and designed to integrate with its surrounding environment. Our first full-scale pilot is scheduled for 2026, a milestone made possible through close collaboration with regional partners, scientific institutions, and the support of local authorities and the Mairie. It marks the beginning of a new, high-altitude carbon capture ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions.
Reducing emissions alone is not enough to meet climate targets. To reach net zero, existing CO₂ must also be removed from the atmosphere. Direct Air Capture complements nature-based solutions by offering measurable, permanent removal that can scale independently of land and weather, helping close the gap where emissions cannot be fully eliminated.
Our technology is tested on a dedicated lab bench designed to replicate Alpine atmospheric conditions — cold, dry air at reduced pressure. This allows us to measure adsorption performance, energy behavior, and durability before anything is deployed outside. As we progress, third-party validation partners will independently review results to ensure transparency and credibility.
The primary advantages of Direct Air Capture as a means of carbon removal are its flexibility, large degree of scalability, high land and water use efficiency, precise measurability of CO2 removed, and the duration/permanence of storage.
The carbon captured from our process will be stored in gas cylinders with a priority objective of permanent carbon removal (storage rather than re-use) locally. We are exploring several options and are in discussions with potential partners to use our carbon in the huge Alpine construction sector.
We want Alpine X units to become a fixture of mountain life, visible at ski resorts, municipalities, and research sites across the Alps. Our goal is to remove over one million tonnes of CO2 annually and convert that captured carbon into economic value by supporting low carbon construction supply chains, turning climate responsibility into climate productivity.
