Our carbon dioxide removal systems align with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on climate action, energy, and sustainability.

First and foremost, DAC addresses SDG 13: Climate Action. 

By removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere, Nellie contributes to mitigating climate change by lowering atmospheric concentrations of this potent greenhouse gas. 

This process is crucial for achieving the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. By actively reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, we can help prevent long-term climate change and reduce the severity of its impacts.

Additionally, DAC has implications for SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. 

Our technology's development and scaling promote the use of renewable energy sources to power our capture processes. As our DAC becomes more energy-efficient and cost-effective, it can support the transition to a low-carbon energy system by providing a method to offset emissions that are difficult to eliminate through traditional decarbonisation strategies.

Furthermore, DAC contributes indirectly to other SDGs by supporting a sustainable environment that is necessary for achieving goals related to health, poverty reduction, and economic growth. 

For example, reducing global warming helps protect ecosystems and biodiversity (SDG 15: Life on Land), which are vital for sustaining agriculture and livelihoods around the world (SDG 1: No Poverty and SDG 2: Zero Hunger).

Nellie’s direct air capture of CO2 primarily supports the Sustainable Development Goals focused on climate action and clean energy. 

Our development and deployment could have wide-ranging benefits for sustainability, economic growth, and the well-being of communities around the globe.
