Noya is radically reducing the upfront capital costs and installation time required to perform direct air capture. We're doing this by retrofitting existing pieces of industrial equipment like cooling towers and turning them into CO2 capture machines.

Noya
Cutting capital and time for direct air capture
We retrofit existing industrial equipment like cooling towers to capture CO2 from the air. Instead of building custom capture machines from scratch, we adapt infrastructure already in place to drastically lower upfront costs and shorten installation timelines for direct air capture systems.
We live in San Francisco and would base the company here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team is located and it gives us access to industry connections and climate tech talent crucial for developing and scaling direct air capture solutions.
