Skytree Opens Nashville Office to Accelerate Direct Air Capture Adoption Across United States
NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 17, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Skytree, a pioneering Dutch climate tech company specializing in carbon utilization and removal solutions, today announced the opening of its first satellite office in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as the opening of its new North American HQ in Toronto, Canada. Born out of the European Space Agency, Amsterdam-based Skytree has spent a decade perfecting its direct air capture technology, which has achieved the highest level of technology readiness, TRL 9, and is already in use across Europe. Building on this success, the company is bringing its leading technology to North America.
The Nashville office will serve as a hub to connect with American customers and expand adoption of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology within the United States. Skytree has already established a presence in North America and has announced partnerships with Deep Sky and Fieldless Farms, among others that have yet to be announced.
“Nashville was chosen due to its thriving technology and business environment, diverse talent pool, and central location,” said Camille Hanna, Business Development Director for North America at Skytree. “Nashville is an emerging innovation hub for climate technology and is in close proximity to Scanfil, our manufacturing partner in Atlanta. It will serve as our homebase as we deploy mission-critical DAC technology across the United States and we are thrilled to add to this dynamic, growing ecosystem.”
"Adding Skytree to Middle Tennessee’s dynamic business community reinforces our region’s status as a national epicenter for international companies. The Nashville area’s diversified economy and skilled workforce makes it an ideal home for Skytree as they expand their innovative carbon capture technology across the U.S. We're thrilled to welcome them and look forward to their contributions to our vibrant business ecosystem," said Malick Gaye, Director of Communications at the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce.
“The United States continues to demonstrate growing demand for proven, cost-effective, scalable DAC technology driven by the needs of industry and with the backing of the U.S. government,” said Rob van Straten, CEO of Skytree. “The opening of our two North American locations together represent a significant milestone for scaling DAC technology globally, as Skytree is among only a few companies in the world with DAC units already operating successfully in the field. We are eager to offer industry partners a viable, economical pathway to turn atmospheric CO2 into valuable inputs — or to store it safely and indefinitely underground.”
