Avnos

Startup Avnos was founded to develop and deploy resource-efficient, geographically flexible and cost-effective technology in the direct air capture (DAC) market. Using a pioneering moisture-responsive CO₂ adsorbent, the company's novel Hybrid Direct Air Capture (HDAC™) technology produces water as it captures CO₂ and eliminates the need for external heat input. Based on intellectual property from leading institutions, including Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Avnos has been awarded multi-million-dollar projects from the U.S. Department of Energy to demonstrate its HDAC solution in the field, and from the U.S. Office of Naval Research to pilot CO2 capture and e-fuels production.
