Qaptis, a Swiss startup founded in 2021, addresses a critical environmental challenge with its pioneering Mobile CO₂ Capture Technology. The company focuses on the transport industry, specifically trucks and ships, which contribute significantly to global CO₂ emissions, accounting for over 10%. These emissions are part of a sector notoriously difficult to decarbonize.
Qaptis offers a viable solution with its plug-in technology, capable of capturing up to 90% of emitted CO₂. The emissions are stored in liquid form onboard for potential recycling into fuel, plastics, building materials, or sequestration. As alternatives like hydrogen and electric vehicles are decades away from widespread implementation, Qaptis presents a timely innovation.
In its pursuit of a greener transportation future, Qaptis secured a Fr.1.30M Pre Seed Round investment on 01 March 2023. The round was backed by notable investors Cargill, BlackWood Ventures, and Plug and Play, underscoring confidence in its potential across logistics, renewable energy, and sustainability sectors.
