Arbon is honored to be selected as one of the 2025 Climate Solutions Challenge winners! We’re thrilled to join Governors Island’s piloting community this summer alongside a fantastic cohort of innovators tackling circular economy challenges. Our Direct Air Capture (DAC) humidity-swing technology is designed to help create a more sustainable, net-zero future by capturing CO₂ directly from the air. Being part of this program allows us to demonstrate our technology in NYC, collaborate with other climate pioneers, and contribute to a more sustainable built environment. A huge thank you to The Trust for Governors Island and supporters like Amazon, Con Edison, Deutsche Bank, LISC NY, and The New York Community Trust for making this opportunity possible. Looking forward to this journey and making a lasting impact! 🌍♻️ #CircularEconomy #DirectAirCapture #ClimateSolutions #Sustainability #NetZero #CarbonRemoval #Innovation
