Qaptis captures its first CO2 molecules!

Written on June 6, 2023

Our first prototype is nearly complete, marking a key milestone in our technical advancement!

This exciting achievement serves as proof-of-concept, validating our transition from the lab to an industrial setting and advanced research facility. But we’re not done yet. We’re now focusing on optimization tests to improve capture efficiency, connecting it to a stationary truck and evaluating engine speed’s impact on our capture rate.

Our mobile carbon capture technology represents a significant breakthrough in the fight against climate change. By capturing carbon emissions at the source, we have the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, contributing to a healthier, more sustainable future for all.

A special shoutout to our dedicated team and our amazing partners for their commitment:

Qaptis celebrates summer with Trivia Quiz, BBQ & Team spirit!

On June 26, the Qaptis team came together to kick off the summer festivities. The day started with a trivia battle at the Quiz Room in Lausanne, which put our knowledge (and a little competitive spirit) to the test. Who knew Masoud & Emanuele Giusti were trivia champions? They crushed the competition! After the game, we enjoyed a delicious lakeside BBQ and raised a toast to Qaptis's 3rd year and for many more! Many thanks to the entire team - Marie, Emanuele Piccoli, Mitulkumar, Theodore, Stéphanie, Masoud and Emanuele G. - for a memorable day of fun together...
