BRIEF
Direct Air Capture and storage DAC/DACCS is a process that uses chemical reactions to extract CO₂ from ambient air; the captured carbon is then either stored underground or repurposed for industrial use. DAC/DACCS stands out for its ability to deliver permanent carbon removal, making it a critical tool for hard-to-abate sectors and companies striving to meet net-zero or carbon-negative targets.
For European corporate buyers seeking to align with the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF) and CSRD reporting requirements, the Oraquel DAC SYSTEM offers a credible, local removal option backed by robust third-party verification (coming soon).
APPROACH
Key advantages of DAC/DACCS include permanence, as CO₂ is safely stored for millennia—avoiding the re-release risks associated with nature-based solutions. It is also highly scalable, with facilities that can be deployed almost anywhere, and every ton of removed CO₂ is precisely quantified, ensuring transparency in corporate reporting. DAC/DACCS presents fewer challenges regarding monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) than reforestation projects and may prove to be a scalable solution for hard-to-abate sectors. Additionally, DAC projects often integrate renewable energy, create high-tech jobs, and support local economies.
SOLUTION
For companies, DAC/DACCS carbon credits are particularly valuable for offsetting unavoidable emissions and demonstrating leadership in climate action. The technology aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including Climate Action (SDG 13) and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG9).
The Oraquel DAC SYSTEM, developed in Switzerland and Europe (Poland), has the potential to become the most cost-effective Direct Air Capture and storage DAC/DACCS system in the world. Designed to remove 500 tons of CO₂ annually per reactor, the Oraquel DAC SYSTEM ranks among the world's most efficient direct air capture facilities. It stores captured CO₂ in deep geological formations—specifically within former mine sites—ensuring permanence and minimizing environmental risk. The mobility of the Oraquel DAC SYSTEM underscores its role as a flagship project in scaling DAC technology.
The Oraquel DAC SYSTEM represents a breakthrough in large-scale carbon removal, combining cutting-edge technology with corporate commitment. Our partnership with private companies and state entities in Poland and Switzerland not only secures long-term demand but also validates DAC/DACCS as a viable solution for hard-to-abate emissions. The project's scale, integration of renewable energy, and secure storage capabilities make it a global benchmark for high-impact climate action. By demonstrating the feasibility of gigaton-scale CO₂ removal, the Oraquel DAC SYSTEM paves the way for the next generation of DAC facilities.
CERTIFICATION
Not all DAC/DACCS projects are created equal. To ensure your investment has a genuine impact, prioritize verification and certification against reputable standards such as Verra, Gold Standard, or Puro.earth. Additionality is crucial: the CO₂ removal must be directly attributable to the project and would not have occurred otherwise. Permanence is another key factor, as the CO₂ must be securely stored with minimal risk of leakage. Transparency is also essential, with projects providing clear documentation regarding their technology, energy sources, and storage methods.
Top-tier DAC/DACCS projects also contribute to broader sustainability goals, such as renewable energy integration and community development.

HOW WE DID IT
Oraquel is a pioneer in the field of Direct Air Capture (DAC), utilizing proprietary, patented sorbents that offer a more cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to traditional methods. The project is currently in its pilot phase and is capable of removing up to 500 tons of CO₂ per year, with a primary focus on rapid scaling. The solution is expected to soon receive certification from leading organizations including Verra, Gold Standard and Puro.earth. Oraquel’s technology relies on the use of natural sorbents to capture CO₂, which is subsequently sequestered permanently underground.
Oraquel’s technology, based on natural sorbents, represents a breakthrough for the economics of direct air carbon capture and storage (DAC/DACS). By significantly reducing capture costs, this solution makes high-quality CO₂ removal accessible to a broader range of businesses. Its focus on affordability and scalability positions Oraquel as a leader in the next wave of innovation within the field of atmospheric carbon removal.
