Technology
Sora's technology captures CO₂ from ambient air at a fraction of the cost of conventional Direct Air Capture (DAC).
How it works
We achieve Direct Air Conversion™ through a novel liquid (bi)carbonate electrolyzer that integrates capture and syngas production in a single closed-loop process, eliminating the energy-intensive regeneration step that dominates traditional DAC costs.
Sora's technology captures CO₂ from ambient air at below $50 per ton, which is a fraction of the $600–$1,000+ that conventional DAC costs today.
Our system can run on intermittent renewable energy. That means we can locate production wherever solar or wind is cheapest. This typically means remote locations where power purchase agreements can run 60% below industrially available grid electricity, and where costs continue to fall. We don’t need to compete with data centers or industrial grids for power.
The result is a SAF pathway with only two feedstocks: air and water. They are ubiquitous, inexhaustible, and effectively free. When your carbon source costs under $50 per ton instead of $600–$1,000, it doesn’t just improve unit economics, it changes the fundamental business model.
Lower cost of delivered carbon
CO₂ is sourced from air — the only free and unlimited feedstock for producing hydrocarbons.
Minimal supply chain risk
No reliance on biomass or industrial sources of CO₂ and H₂.
Simpler plant
Patented electrolyzer produces fuel with fewer inputs and in a single, closed-loop process.
