280 Earth uses engineered trees as a bio-based direct air capture system to remove CO2 from the atmosphere; converts captured carbon into biomass for bioplastics and biofuels; generates fresh water as a byproduct;
About
280 Earth is an early-stage biotechnology and climate company developing a bio-based direct air capture (DAC) system that uses genetically engineered trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at scale. Unlike mechanical DAC systems (such as those developed by Climeworks or Carbon Engineering) that use chemical sorbents and large industrial equipment, 280 Earth''s approach leverages biological carbon fixation — engineering trees to capture CO2 more efficiently than natural forests — and then processes the resulting biomass to produce useful end products including bioplastics and biofuels, while also generating fresh water as a byproduct of the biological process.
