Global Thermostat (“GT”) has developed a proven breakthrough technology that can cost-effectively remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere. It is, therefore, called a carbon negative technology™. GT’s patented “Direct Air Capture” (DAC) technology is now commercializing and has the potential to fundamentally change the way we manage and utilize carbon on a global scale.CO2 emissions are considered a leading cause of climate change and current concentrations in the atmosphere (400 ppm) are at their highest level in the last three million years according to the NOAA and Scripps.1 GT has the power to turn this major liability into a valuable commodity that can serve an addressable market of over US$1 trillion spanning a wide range of industries (see Dr Peter Eisenberger’s article on pages 60-61). GT can capture CO2 where it can be transformed into valuable products without requiring pipelines or other expensive forms of transportation to reach their markets at lower cost than existing oil or gas based alternatives. Several top-tier 3rd-Party technology reports have validated that GT’s carbon capture technology is currently the lowest cost production method for CO2 in the world due to its ability to utilize low temperature residual process heat (at 85-105°C) as its main source of energy. As of the beginning of 2016, GT has been awarded 17 patents and by filing under the international Patent Cooperation Treaty, enjoys patent protection in 147 countries. The potential of GT technology to capture CO2 from the air at an economically viable cost has been validated by a 2015 NRG/Sargent & Lundy FEED Study, by a DN Veritas report as well as a number of potential industrial partners and investors. Fast Company Magazine selected Global Thermostat “World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies” in energy in April 2015. GT is a finalist in the US$25 million Virgin Earth Challenge Prize and is seeking the US$100 million dollar MacArthur Prize 100 and Change for solving a critical problem affecting people, places or the planet.GT currently has major commercial projects under development to use the captured CO2 to make fuel in Germany, to make biodegradable plastic worldwide, to feed greenhouses in Australia and in the US, as input to making bio-fertilizer in the US, for soft drinks world-wide, and for desalination in “ GT CAN CAPTURE CO2 WHERE IT CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO VALUABLE PRODUCTS WITHOUT REQUIRING PIPELINES OR OTHER EXPENSIVE FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION TO REACH THEIR MARKETS AT LOWER COST THAN EXISTING OIL OR GAS BASED ALTERNATIVES”GLOBAL THERMOSTAT LLCA GAME CHANGER: CAPTURING COFROM THE AIR2 Left: Global Thermostat CO2 capture plant102 INNOVATION TECHNOLOGY
