Carbon Removal Project

Project Jacaranda by Sirona Technologies

Project Jacaranda is Sirona Technologies’ flagship Direct Air Capture and Storage project, based in Nakuru County, Kenya. They use a solid-sorbent TVSA process to capture CO₂, which is permanently stored via in-situ mineralization.

Project Jacaranda by Sirona Technologies

Overview

At the heart of Sirona's approach is speed: they design modular machines, mass-produced in Belgium, to scale DAC fast and improve with every deployment. Each machine is a new iteration aiming to be more energy-efficient, more cost-effective. They brought their first pilot online in under 19 months from founding, and are on track to reach megaton-scale removal by 2030.

In Kenya, Project Jacaranda brings more than carbon removal: it creates jobs, strengthens local energy infrastructure, and invests in community-led initiatives.

Highlight

Sirona's operation model is designed for speed and cost reduction. They mass-produce modular machines from off-the-shelf components, improving performance with every iteration. Plug-and-play deployment allows them to scale rapidly while driving down costs, without the complexity of large infrastructure.

To ensure that all carbon credits are high-quality, permanent, and transparently verified, Sirona Technologies follows the Isometric DAC protocol v1.1, with certification currently in progress.

About

Sirona Technologies is a Brussels headquartered company developing innovative DAC machines that have the potential for rapid scaling. Their pilot facility in Kenya will mark the fastest DAC pilot deployment in the world.

Kenya’s abundant geothermal and solar resources, combined with the storage potential, create a unique opportunity for DAC.

The project will not only accelerate large-scale carbon removal, but also stimulate local industrial demand for renewable energy.

Vision

Sirona was started to address to urgent truths: the world needs carbon removal at scale, and DAC can’t afford to move slowly. They designed a modular operational model to scale quickly, but needed a site that matched. Kenya offers exactly what DAC needs to scale: abundant renewables, favourable regulation, and critically, CO₂ storage infrastructure in place with our partner Cella. That’s where Project Jacaranda began.

Deploying this technology at unprecedented speed in a region rich in renewable energy and geological potential demonstrates that DAC can scale globally. But more than that, Project Jacaranda shows what’s possible when climate innovation is rooted in local partnership, purpose, and urgency.
