Great Carbon Valley Direct Air Capture Pilot Project

under construction

The Great Carbon Valley project in Kenya aims to harness local geothermal resources to power direct air capture (DAC) machines that remove carbon dioxide from the air. The pilot project by Octavia Carbon involves testing four prototypes in Gilgil, Kenya, using excess geothermal thermal energy to capture CO2, which is then stored underground in basalt formations. The project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility and scalability of DAC technology in the tropics and to stimulate green industrialization and renewable energy infrastructure expansion in Kenya.
