About Airovation

Our Mission

Airovation Tech — Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Enabling methane based low carbon hydrogen production in synergy with hard-to-abate industries such as: fertilizer, concrete and steel.

Airovation achieves over 95% conversion of carbon emissions from SMR

Our journey began in 2017, in scaling our patented mineralization technology. In 2022 Israel became one of the first to adopt Airovation’s CCUS technology reducing CO2 emissions at the ICL plant, laying the foundation for a greener economy. By 2024, Airovation expanded its carbon capturing technology with demonstration plants in Japan and Israel.

With the support of governments and leading corporations, Airovation has transformed the industry landscape through groundbreaking mineralization-based carbon capture. Not only does this facilitate CO2 reduction, but it also produces valuable byproducts like calcium carbonate for permanent storage of CO2 and sulfuric acid for diverse industrial applications.

Partnering with industry leaders, the company reduced costs and entered new markets, introducing the Low Carbon Hydrogen Valley approach.

By 2030, Airovation’s presence will reach Morocco and the USA, enabling low-carbon hydrogen production while transforming toxic phospho-gypsum waste through our advanced carbon capture processes — preventing millions of tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Our Vision

At 2050, our environment is cleaner, industries are thriving, and the future is brighter, proving that visionary decisions drive meaningful change.

Join us in leading the next industrial revolution with Airovation’s clean energy solutions.
