Redefining the Carbon Removal Frontier in Kenya
We develop, manufacture, and deploy Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to help restore our climate.

A habitable planet needs carbon removal
To meet global net-zero targets, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is not optional — it’s essential. Emissions reductions alone are no longer enough. We must clean up the carbon that’s already out in our atmosphere and do it at a scale that matches the urgency of the climate issue.
At Octavia Carbon, we are on a mission to scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology down the cost curve and up the impact curve — making it not only a effective solution for durable carbon removal, but also a catalyst for green industrial growth and climate justice in Kenya.
We are achieving this by designing modular and cost-effective DAC systems designed to leverage Kenya’s unique endowments.

Energy
Kenya’s grid is 93% renewable, with ~48% of this energy derived from geothermal sources. These geothermal plants emit vast amounts of waste heat. We design our technology to integrate directly with this abundant resource, lowering our operational costs while fostering the growth of the geothermal energy sector.
Geology
The Kenyan Rift Valley is abundant in basaltic rocks, which act as natural, durable CO₂ storage sites. CO₂ injected into these formations mineralizes into stable carbonate minerals, effectively locking the CO₂ away for thousands of years with no adverse effects on the surrounding environment.
Talent
Kenya has a young and innovative population that experiences the ravages of climate change firsthand, and so, has a strong incentive to fix this problem.
Climate Justice
Like most African countries, Kenya has contributed minimally to climate change but has been disproportionately affected by it. Our DAC operations in the region will enable local communities to benefit from climate action by creating jobs, supporting local development, and transforming Kenya’s natural resources into a part of the solution.

Community Engagement Strategy
As Africa's pioneering DAC company, we are committed to setting a high standard for responsible carbon removal. Our Community Engagement Strategy isn’t just a document—it’s our commitment to ensuring that the benefits of our technology directly support the communities that make it possible.
Rooted in five core principles—local leadership, relationship building, informed consent, local value creation, and zero corruption—this strategy guides everything we do. It ensures transparency, inclusivity, and meaningful partnerships with local communities.
