Avnos is commercializing its proprietary Hybrid Direct Air Capture (HDAC) system, a water-positive approach that simultaneously captures atmospheric CO₂ and produces clean water, eliminating two major cost barriers—external heat and water consumption—found in conventional DAC systems. HDAC’s efficiency and geographic flexibility allow deployment across diverse industries and locations, and the technology is now being scaled through Project Cedar, a flagship U.S. facility slated to be operational by the end of 2026. The plant will deploy four HDAC modules capable of removing 3,000 metric tons of CO₂ and generating over 6,000 tons of water annually. Backed by partnerships with Shell, Mitsubishi Corporation, the Office of Naval Research, and the U.S. Department of Energy, Avnos has secured more than $100 million in combined private and public funding to date. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles and positions its water-generating, energy-efficient process as a repeatable blueprint for global carbon-removal infrastructure.
