Carbon capture equipment for ships

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build carbon capture systems that attach to existing ships and reduce their CO2 emissions by up to 95%. Our product captures emissions directly from ship engines so operators can meet new global regulations without replacing vessels.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, England, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London is a hub for shipping, climate tech, and engineering talent. Being here connects us directly to our customers and partners in shipping and industrial sectors.
