Making dilute
CO₂ capturable
— at scale
We are engineering the first Low-Concentration Carbon Capture platform designed to grow with the world's needs.
A Future
Beyond Point Boundaries
OUR MISSION
Closing the gap to net zero.
The hardest emissions are still left behind — too diluted to capture with existing solutions.
Yama is an electrified carbon capture technology for dilute gas-fired streams, delivering up to 50% lower costs than conventional methods while enabling flexible operation.

OUR APPROACH
Our technology combines advanced membranes and a proprietary non-toxic sorbent within an electrochemical architecture, enabling
Minimal energy use and flexible operation
We build modular Low-Concentration Carbon Capture systems repurposing mature components to fast track scale up
<100$/tCO₂ at mega scale
We turn gas power into clean energy and enable
net-zero data centers and Al infrastructure

THE MOST SCALABLE DAC TECH — THE FIRST FRENCH DAC PILOT
In just one year, we at Yama have scaled our system 56x - moving from the lab to the first-ever French DAC pilot plant, now live for 2 months.
- 22 tonnes/year DAC module capturing CO₂ - not theory, not simulation: carbon removal in action.
- Fastest-ever execution and cost efficiency from lab scale to pilot.
- 1250 kWh/t total energy consumption - powered by our proprietary electrochemical technology.
- Fast
- Low energy
- Affordable
