Spiritus, a Los Alamos, NM-based climate-tech startup which specializes in direct air capture (DAC) technology, raised $30M in Series A Funding.
The round was led by Aramco Ventures and joined by Khosla Ventures, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, and TDK Ventures.
Led by Charles Cadieu, CEO and co-founder, Spiritus is a climate tech company at the forefront of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. The company’s approach combines the Spiritus Sorbent and the Spiritus Carbon Orchard, offering a scalable and modular system for low-cost DAC and sequestration (DAC+S).
Spiritus intends to use the funds to accelerate three major facilities, demonstrating the feasibility of large-scale carbon capture and removal:
- New Mexico Pilot Facility: A 1,000-ton DAC site designed to prove industrial-scale carbon removal, up and running in months,
- Orchard One, Wyoming: the first full-scale Carbon Orchard, designed to sequester 2 megatons of CO₂ annually,
- The partnership with Aramco scales American exports and technology abroad, proving that the U.S. leads in the race for a carbon-neutral industrial revolution. The partnership will further develop the technology and scale deployments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
