CarpeCarbon x Michelin Cuneo Solid-Sorbent Direct Air Capture Plant

Track; not yet

Why

The agreement is a real integration of DAC into a tyre factory, described by the sources as CarpeCarbon's first DAC plant integrated into an industrial production process, with a modular design whose solution the company states is CE-marked, a TRL 6 pilot in Turin, a roughly 2 million euro initial investment and an on-site CO2 offtaker. But it is a pre-construction commitment at 300 t/yr nominal: no energy, cost or net-removal data are published, storage is unnamed, and the 50,000 t/yr figure is a company-wide ambition. Evidence supports watching, not relying on it.

Next

Watch for construction start and H2 2027 commissioning, published Turin pilot performance data (energy per tonne, capture rate), a named mineralisation storage partner, and credit-methodology certification.
