Airhive Secures Funding for 1,000-Tonne Direct Air Capture Pilot with Coca-Cola Support

  • Airhive, a UK-based startup developing direct air capture technology, has secured pre-seed funding from AP Ventures, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), Collaborative Fund, and angel investors

  • The investment will support the development and deployment of Airhive's second commercial pilot, a 1,000-tonne DAC system, at a CCEP site

  • This pilot aims to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide to replace fossil fuel-derived CO2 in CCEP's carbonated drinks, aligning with their sustainability goals

  • Airhive's technology utilizes "fluidised bed" technology, which is optimized for rapid and efficient CO2 capture, offering a cost-effective solution for businesses seeking to achieve their net zero commitments.
