At Ucaneo we develop the world’s first cell-free Direct Air Capture technology leveraging a biocatalytic membrane to capture CO2 from the air. Climate change is a global problem and needs to be tackled at scale. Therefore, we set the goal to capture 0.5 GT of CO2 from the air by 2035 - roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined! After the first promising results in the lab we continue to focus on our technology. If you want to join an ambitious team with lots of freedom and growth check out our career page and LinkedIn jobs. We are looking for talents in the area of process engineering, material science and chemistry/biology and cannot wait to meet you!
