Spiritus Secures $32M Series A to Launch Large-Scale Carbon Removal

Spiritus Secures $32M Series A to Launch Large-Scale Carbon Removal
  • Spiritus secures $30M Series A to scale cost-effective Direct Air Capture (DAC).
  • Aims for 90% cost reduction in carbon removal, targeting $100/ton.
  • Launching major carbon capture facilities to support American AI and energy infrastructure.

America’s AI boom demands vast energy infrastructure—but risks massive carbon emissions. Climate-tech innovator Spiritus today announced a $30M Series A funding round, led by Aramco Ventures with participation from Khosla Ventures, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, and TDK Ventures, to dramatically expand its DAC technology.

We’re seeing soaring demand for data centers and heavy industries, yet we can’t ignore the carbon that comes with it,” said Charles Cadieu, CEO and co-founder of Spiritus. “Our DAC technology brings large-scale decarbonization within reach. This funding advances our vision of supporting America’s explosive growth while keeping emissions in check.

Why it Matters:

AI and construction industries are among the highest emitters, demanding rapid carbon mitigation strategies. Spiritus’ DAC technology enables growth without environmental compromise.

Our technology ensures large-scale progress does not mean large-scale emissions, preserving both economic opportunity and environmental responsibility,” added Cadieu.

Immediate Actions:

Spiritus will fast-track the deployment of three flagship facilities:

  • New Mexico Pilot Facility: Operational within months, capturing 1,000 tons of CO₂ annually to demonstrate quick integration into local economies.
  • Orchard One, Wyoming: Capturing 2 megatons of CO₂ annually, this facility will become one of America’s largest single-site DAC plants.
  • Global Energy Leadership: Through a partnership with Aramco, Spiritus will scale DAC deployments internationally, starting in Saudi Arabia.

Bruce Niven, Executive Managing Director at Aramco Ventures, emphasized the significance: “Direct Air Capture has the potential to play an important role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors of the economy, but until now, it has been too expensive to be meaningful. Breakthrough approaches like Spiritus are needed.

David Delfassy, Investment Director at TDK Ventures, said: “We are witnessing a pivotal moment in the journey to decarbonize our economies. Spiritus represents a unique fusion of cutting-edge material science and scalable, cost-efficient carbon removal, making it a key enabler of the world’s industrial future.”

Bottom Line:

Spiritus ensures America’s leadership in energy and AI doesn’t come at the cost of climate responsibility.
