Skytree, Return Carbon, and EDF Renewables North America are joining forces to deliver transformative large-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities in Texas, with the goal of removing 500,000 tonnes of CO2 per year when sites become fully operational. With the first deployments starting in 2028, this partnership will operate the first wind-powered DAC park in Texas.

Skytree today announced the acquisition of Dutch direct air capture (DAC) startup ReCarbn. The acquisition will integrate ReCarbn’s intellectual property, most notably its innovation in filtration and sorbent circulation, into Skytree’s DAC product portfolio. In addition, all three ReCarbn co-founders — Guus Dubbink (CEO), Ewout Ruijs (CPO), and Sophia Hummelman (CCO) — will join the Skytree team, bringing unique expertise in research and development, product strategy, and commercial finance, respectively.
