Carbon-from-Air Solutions | Renewable Heat, Bio-Materials & Decarbonisation

CCS42 is a climate technology start-up based in Lübeck, Germany, focused on transforming atmospheric carbon into usable energy, materials, and industrial feedstocks. Their modular thermolysis systems actively capture carbon from the air while converting sustainable biomass into renewable heat, biochar, bio-oil, and other bio-based products.

By mimicking natural fossil formation processes, CCS42 compresses millions of years of carbon storage into hours, providing scalable, low-carbon solutions for industrial and energy applications. Their systems enable measurable carbon removal, durable retention, and climate-positive outcomes, supporting EU sustainability and carbon management frameworks.

The company offers turnkey installations and flexible service models, including contracting and co-investment approaches, which integrate seamlessly with existing industrial and energy infrastructures. CCS42’s solutions deliver predictable costs, supply security, and long-term regional value creation while reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

With a mission to make atmospheric carbon a common European resource, CCS42 empowers industries, municipalities, and energy providers to implement scalable decarbonisation strategies, generate renewable energy and materials, and achieve tangible climate impact.
