About Heimdal
Heimdal builds machines that permanently capture and store atmospheric CO2. Congress has passed legislation (IRA) guaranteeing a price of $180/tCO2 removed via Direct Air Capture until 2032. We are building technology that profitably captures CO2 with this tax credit, right here in the United States.

Heimdal
Heimdal builds machines that permanently capture and store atmospheric CO2. Congress has passed legislation (IRA) guaranteeing a price of $180/tCO2 removed via Direct Air Capture until 2032. We are building technology that profitably captures CO2 with this tax credit, right here in the United States.
We are working with established multinationals to supply them with the highest quality carbon credits available and are partnered with some of the largest desalination facilities in the world to bring our soluton to market at scale quicker. We have already built the cheapest carbon removal plant in the world, in Hawai'i, and are working to build scale. We question everything, discarding no avenues, technologies, projects, or approaches. We follow the numbers.
Role
- Collaborate in the development of a process flow diagram for the system and take responsibility for working through the sizing and sourcing of components through a P&ID
- Understanding the entirety of the system and being able to adapt quickly to work on unfamiliar problems
- Being creative when problem-solving to come up with unconventional solutions which reduce costs significantly whilst thinking 'could I build this/do this myself?'
- Collaborating with CAD design engineers on macro and micro system arrangement
- Continuously analyse the whole of the system (including outside of your primary focus area) to determine changes that can allow us to capture more carbon at a lower cost. It doesn't matter how significant a change it would be - we want to know.
- Determine aspects of the system that would benefit from R&D. Firstly, identifying fundamentals that need to be understood and then hypothesising on solutions for improvement.
We are moving fast and we are looking for people who can move as fast or faster. The position comes with significant stock options that only incentise us to move even quicker.
Technology
We use abundant minerals, in a looping process, and existing industrial equipment to capture CO2. Our process starts with carbonation of an abundant sorbent. Over a short period of time, through passive contacting with atmospheric air, the material is carbonated, whereafter the captured CO2 is stripped and captured by heating the material to high temperatures. CO2 off-gas is captured and stored geologically, permanently.
