Overview
Phlair captures CO2 from the air using a patented liquid sorbent that circulates in a capture unit. The captured CO2 can be permanently stored or used to make carbon-neutral or carbon-negative products. It partners with hard-to-decarbonize industries to reduce emissions, selling the technology, providing long-term service agreements, or pursuing joint ventures that leverage carbon credits. Revenue also comes from selling captured CO2 for industrial uses or trading carbon credits; its goal is to help industries meet net-zero targets and reduce atmospheric CO2.

What believers are saying
- The EU backed CAPTURE with €2.5 million through October 2026.
- Phlair’s June 2026 CDR tour presence signaled policy tailwinds for European removals.
- Phlair’s Rotterdam partnership with Paebbl adds a concrete CO2-to-materials monetization path.
What critics are saying
- CORDIS showed Phlair’s demo scaled to 10 tonnes yearly, far below 500 planned.
- Membrane manufacturing limits delayed the 42-cell stack; scaling bottlenecks threaten 2027 deliveries.
- If commercial units miss cost targets, Frontier buyers walk and Phlair loses existential DAC credibility.
What makes Phlair unique
- Phlair’s Hydrolyzer uses fully electric pH-swing DAC, unlike thermal sorbent competitors.
- In October 2026, Phlair ran a commissioned, TÜV-certified demo plant at Ismaning.
- Phlair secured a $30.6 million Frontier offtake from Google, JPMorgan, Stripe, H&M, McKinsey.
