About Carbon Atlantis
Decarbonizing the air with a breakthrough electrolyzer technology for acid & base production.
For decades, fossil fuels served as the backbone and feedstock of our economy – with the downside of polluting our atmosphere. We invert this equation by developing a cost-efficient and scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. We capture CO2 from ambient air for either permanent storage or as a precursor for CO2-negative chemicals.
Non-thermal approaches for DAC rely on acids and bases. Bases efficiently bind CO2, while acids release it. In short, bases ❤️ and acids ❌ CO2. We have cracked the nut here by developing a breakthrough electrolyzer for acid/base regeneration, allowing us to deliver a scalable and cost-effective DAC process.
Getting to net zero requires drastic reductions in emissions. However, reductions alone won't be sufficient to achieve net zero. In addition, we need carbon capture solutions for hard-to-abate industries and carbon removal technologies to offset residual emissions. Direct Air Capture (DAC) plays a pivotal role as a permanent and verifiable carbon removal technology in the broader effort to reach net zero.
DAC needs to scale up to 1-2 gigatons (Gt) by 2050 to offset residual emissions from hard-to-abate industries and Scope 3 activities, such as flights. We assist our leading clients, including Shopify and Stripe, in reaching their net-zero objectives.
Beyond, our technology can be utilized for point-source capture in the aluminum industry.

Your mission at Carbon Atlantis
Your mission: Together with our CSO Steffen, you will develop and execute test plans to evaluate the functionality & compliancy of our electrochemical stack, and provide feedback to the stack development team for the design of our first 260 tCO2/year-DAC demonstrator.
- Collaborate with colleagues to develop test stands needed to perform tests internally and/or with external partners
- Analyse test data and communicate key results to the development team
- Setup & maintain test infrastructure (a professional qualification in electrical wiring is a plus)
- Devise quality assurance steps for stack components and stack end of line testing
Your targets are an important roadmap but nothing is set in stone in the startup world.
At Carbon Atlantis, we understand that it is crucial to have the ability to quickly adapt to the market environment and a very new sector being shaped under our eyes. This means that we highly value flexible team members, who embrace a changing environment, and thrive when working autonomously, learning while doing.
