Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

As mentioned above, today’s filtration processes are emission intensive and inefficient against majority of the harmful contaminants. Our patent-pending novel filtration process can capture 99.9% of any contaminants (even as small as individual COVID virus) at 50% or less energy demand. Our filtration process works for both air and water. The science of which is de-risked by us in last 6+ years of continuous research. We are initially focusing on air and water to maximize our impact to decarbonize and provide improved quality of life irrespective of the background. During our survey, especially with traditionally underrepresented section, we found that while they want to be part of climate movement, their participation is hindered as most of the climate solutions are either expensive (procurement, operation and capital cost intensive) and/or require knowledge of technology. Additionally, few recent surveys also found that the disadvantaged populations are disproportionately affected by climate change. Our technology is a plug-and-play operation with no knowledge barrier to entry and works with existing infrastructure (no capital cost). This project will allow us to scale our technology allowing minimal dependence on other dilutive capital to be at a cost-point that is acceptable by the underrepresented population.

Mission Statement:

Filtration is one of the largest polluters of world (e.g.- HVAC results in 15% of global emission) causing gigatons of GHG emission. Our mission is to reduce emission by a gigaton by making filtration gentle for planet and provide the world with clean and sustainable environment.
