Industry Led Carbon Removal

Providing a modular, plug-and-play solution that
provides CARBON ASSETS and gives customers
a 'first mover advantage' in CARBON MANAGEMENT.

GAIA is building the world’s first DAC-BiCRS carbon removal technology. Gaia's innovations are able to simultaneously lower atmospheric CO₂ levels AND help industrial customers achieve a scalable, financially viable, and economically sound solution for waste streams and facility emissions.

A NEW Level of Energy Efficiency

A unique Bio-DAC carbon removal pathway, that solves the energy efficiency problem, and leads the way with ultra low energy needs (~275 kWh/t).

Turning Waste into Value

We are able to partner with bio-industrial companies to unlock hidden value in their operations. By transforming waste streams into carbon assets, we help turn existing resources into new revenue while supporting climate goals.

Multi Purpose

Carbon assets that are valuable on the compliance, voluntary, AND clean fuel markets.

Plug-and-Play

Engineered as a stackable, scalable, modular plug-and-play technology to benefit legacy industries.

Trusted Carbon Units That Work Across Markets

High-quality, verified CO₂ removal units that can be used across multiple markets—from compliance programs like ETS, to voluntary carbon markets, to clean fuel incentives like LCFS.

Plug-and-Play Carbon Removal

Our modular technology is engineered for quick deployment and seamless integration—helping established industries decarbonize without reworking their infrastructure.

Our Novel Technology

GAIA’s Bio-DAC™ technology components uniquely combine Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) with Direct Air Capture (DAC) to deliver a powerful, nature-aligned carbon removal solution.

GAIA’s Bio-DAC™ technology uniquely combines Biomass Carbon Removal (BiCRS) with Direct Air Capture (DAC) to deliver a powerful, nature-aligned carbon removal solution.

Unlike any other engineered CDR technology, our system captures CO₂ in two unique ways:

Directly from the atmosphere using a liquid DAC capture system.
Through biomass waste streams - by isolating CO₂ that was absorbed during photosynthesis but then left unused by bio-industrial processes.

By tapping into the power and primary principles of biology and chemistry, we designed a system that is scalable, synergistic, and deeply integrated with natural and industrial cycles.
