This climate tech startup wants to capture carbon and help data centers cool down


It inked a $40 million deal with Alphabet, Meta, and other big companies.

Data centers are a growing climate problem, especially as all the energy needed to train AI models inflates tech companies’ carbon footprints. It can pull carbon dioxide out of the air, run partially on servers’ waste heat, and even generate water to help cool a data center more efficiently. Filtering CO2 out of the air is trending among companies trying to hit sustainability targets but still struggling to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by turning to clean energy.
