NeoCarbon Opens New Chemistry Lab for the Development of High-Quality Carbon Capture Sorbents

NeoCarbon has announced the opening of a new chemical laboratory at its headquarters in Berlin to push the boundaries of CO₂ removal technologies, making them more efficient, scalable, and affordable.

The lab brings a critical capability in-house: developing and qualifying the capture sorbents at the heart of NeoCarbon's platform. Because the platform is sorbent-agnostic, the team can evaluate and tune materials for the specific conditions of each deployment instead of being locked into a single chemistry. A flexible test setup accommodates sorbent samples ranging from 1 gram to 1 kilogram, enabling rigorous testing of carbon capture performance with larger volumes.

"In contrast to other developers who use low-efficiency sorbents, NeoCarbon can optimize the key material to its customers' needs. The new facility not only supports NeoCarbon's immediate research and development goals, but also advances the future of DAC in terms of scalability, efficiency, and financeability," said Silvain Toromanoff, Co-Founder and CTO of NeoCarbon.

With the new laboratory, results move faster from bench to field: materials proven at gram scale can be validated at kilogram scale under realistic conditions before they ever reach a unit at a customer site.
