New Team Makes Air Cleaning Easier and Cheaper

Aircapture and Corning are moving from testing to real‑world use.

They have worked together for years, but now they plan to sell the system and grow it fast.

Corning supplies a special ceramic honeycomb that grabs carbon dioxide from the air.
Aircapture builds modular units that fit into factories and other sites.

The partnership started with pilot projects, where the two companies tested how well their parts fit together.
After successful trials, Aircapture began installing units in places that need pure CO₂, like soda factories and concrete plants.

Corning is making more of the ceramic material so that more units can be built at once.
Aircapture’s founder says CO₂ should not only be removed but also used.

The company turns the captured gas into a product that businesses already want.
This gives factories money and reduces their need to buy CO₂ from elsewhere.

Corning has a long history in ceramics.
Fifty years ago, it helped make filters for cars to clean exhaust gases.
Now the new ceramic is designed for a different job: it keeps CO₂ inside while letting air flow through.
It can run continuously and survive the harsh conditions of air capture.

The units are small and quick to set up.
They can be ready in a few days instead of months, which saves time and money.

The CO₂ they produce is almost pure—99.998 percent—and can be used in many industries or stored forever.

Both companies see this as a chance to help the planet.
The International Energy Agency says we will need to remove billions of tons of CO₂ each year by 2050.
By combining Aircapture’s design with Corning’s ceramic, they hope to meet that goal faster.

The partnership has already shown real results.
In the UAE, eight units were up and running in 17 days.

Aircapture also won a prize for the best carbon‑removal technology, proving that their approach works and can grow.

Corning’s goal is to give customers tools that scale well.
They want the new system to be part of a larger carbon‑saving network.

Aircapture’s focus is on local, on‑site capture so that companies can use CO₂ right where it is needed.

The two firms believe that turning the air into a useful resource will help many industries and protect the environment.
