CO2 capture, agreement between CapeCarbon and Michelin for the first industrial plant
The Turin-based start-up will apply its direct air capture technology at the multinational company's plant in Cuneo.
CarpeCarbon, a Turin-based start-up, and Michelin Italiana have signed an agreement to develop a project to capture and utilize atmospheric CO2 at Michelin's tire factory in Cuneo. The project involves building an industrial plant that uses CarpeCarbon's proprietary direct air capture technology, which will provide CO2 for specific industrial applications at the site.
The plant, valued at €2 million, will have a capacity of 300 tonnes of CO2 per year and is expected to start operating in the second half of 2027. CarpeCarbon aims to increase its overall capture capacity to 5,000 tonnes per year by 2028-2029 and 50,000 tonnes per year by 2030.
