About
Ucaneo pioneers Direct Air Capture through an electrochemical system that emulates the human lung, continuously regenerating at room temperature to extract CO₂ from the atmosphere. The technology leverages a biomimetic solvent and electricity, enabling highly energy‑efficient removal that can be powered by variable renewable sources such as solar and wind, and produces pure CO₂ ready for industrial utilization. With a target of capturing 0.5 GT of CO₂ by 2035—roughly the mass of all humans on Earth—Ucaneo is scaling up its platform to meet global climate goals while offering flexible, on‑demand CO₂ removal. The company seeks talent in chemical engineering, electrochemistry, and mechanical engineering to join a fast‑growing, innovative team focused on transformative climate solutions.
