MZT is an early-stage start-up pioneering a breakthrough Direct Air carbon Capture (DAC) technology that can scrub CO2 from the air using a fraction of the energy compared to incumbent technologies and can be deployed anywhere with a power supply. In the past two and a half years, MZT has evolved its technology from concept to pilot plant scale, successfully raising over &pound;8m from a mixture of private and government funding. MZT&rsquo;s technology is a hybrid of approaches, combining efficient solution-phase capture of CO2 with a continuous and compact electrochemical separation technology.&nbsp;
Mission Zero and its work is guided by its principles of bold curiosity, problem solving acumen and hope for the future. We strive to realise a world where humanity has new tools to fight climate change, remove CO2&nbsp;permanently from the atmosphere and produce everyday products such as concrete blocks or fuels from atmospheric carbon emissions. To do this we need to realise a decentralised Gt supply chain for CO2&nbsp;sourced directly from the atmosphere.
