We're solving humanity's biggest challenge, and it takes everything we've got.
The world needs more energy, not less. Fossil fuels powered our economy for decades, at the cost of our planet. At Phlair, we're
inverting that equation with breakthrough electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that pulls CO₂ from the air for
permanent storage or repurposing into carbon-negative chemicals.
We're not here to play it safe. We're here to win.
We solve hard problems and are product-first. Our hydrolyzer-based Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, enabling scalable and
low-cost CO2 capture from ambient air. The electrochemical technology allows off-the-shelf components and is ideally suited to the
intermittent nature of renewable energy sources.
With proven offtake agreements from customers such as Google, McKinsey, JPMorganChase, Shopify, Stripe, H&M, and Deep Sky; we're
one of only seven DAC companies with real market validation.
Project Dawn isn't just our flagship; it's our shot to scale CO₂ removal globally.
We're building for the 3-5% who are energized by winning and thrive under pressure. Our pace demands people who see excellence as
non-negotiable and execution as everything. We cherish work-life-harmony, not balance. If you need extensive structure or prefer
playing it safe, we're probably not the right fit.
Don't tick every box? We value potential and spikes over perfect resumes. If you believe you can contribute to our mission at this
intensity level, tell us why.
