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. The filtered air is released back into the environment after the adsorption step. They make far-reaching energy and cost reductions possible. This increases efficiency and reduces costs.
