Audi and Krajete developing direct air capture technologies for CO2

Green Car Congress

AUDI AG and the Austria-based green tech company Krajete GmbH are jointly developing new technologies for filtering emissions from ambient air. In addition to robust adsorber materials, these direct air capturing technologies (DAC) are based, above all, on innovative processes. They make far-reaching energy and cost reductions possible.

Conversely, 39% of respondents would only buy an EV if gasoline-powered vehicles were no longer available. The sample included 16,037 adults 18-and-over, from the UK, US, DACH (Austria, Germany and Switzerland), France, Sweden, Japan, China and India. US respondents are split when it comes to when they’ll consider purchasing an EV.
