One of the longest-running DAC companies (founded 2010), relocated to Colorado and kept here after its 2024 sale to New York-based Zero Carbon Systems, which is expanding the Brighton operation rather than moving it. Technology provider on two of nine DOE Carbon Dioxide Removal Prize Phase I DAC awards, pitched explicitly around Colorado's DAC hub ambitions.
