About us

We are an early startup with a big vision - capture 0.5GT of global CO2 emissions from the air by 2035 through biotechnology, roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined!

To meet our climate targets the reduction of CO2 emissions is not enough, the world actively has to capture billions of tons of CO2 from our atmosphere. To achieve that we at Ucaneo develop the world’s first biomimetic Direct Air Capture technology to remove CO2 from ambient air.

We are a science and mission-driven team, fast-moving with a break-or-make attitude. Our office is located in the heart of Berlin, at Torstraße 110, lab in Buch, but we will move to Mazahn this summer to our industrial hall.
