SkySweep - Direct Air Capture, rethought from the sky

What it's about

Direct Air Capture removes CO₂ from the air - so far mostly stationary, plant-bound and energy-intensive. That limits where and how fast the technology can take effect.

SkySweep rethinks the approach: drone-based, mobile and designed for scalability. Instead of capturing CO₂ only at a few fixed points, the removal is brought to where it is needed. For this to succeed efficiently, one thing above all is decisive: how cleverly the missions are steered and analysed.

What makes it special

A deliberately unconventional path in a decisive field - carried by the conviction that the climate transition also needs bold technology leaps. Not the safe repetition of the known, but the serious trialling of the new.

What Xient brings

As partner, Xient is responsible for the data and AI side: control logic, analysis and optimisation, so that sensor data becomes more efficient missions. At its core this is our data & analytics competence - combined with artificial intelligence that recognises patterns and improves decisions without becoming a black box.

From research into your value creation

Here, too, the lever lies in the intelligent use of data. We bring this competence from research back into consulting - reliable, traceable and responsible. Those who use data cleverly gain room for manoeuvre that others don't see.
