Our Software: NECTAR
NECTAR provides quantitative geospatial data and analytics to guide DAC siting and project planning. It evaluates critical factors including water and energy consumption, CO2 storage potential, climate risks, and social considerations. By integrating these factors, NECTAR empowers stakeholders to optimize technology performance, minimize costs, and address key project risks, ensuring sustainable and community-aligned deployment strategies.
NECTAR, the Negative CO2 Emission Transition Roadmap, is an intuitive software designed to evaluate and visualize the factors that impact Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology deployment. The tool simultaneously analyzes weather and climate conditions, geologic storage potential, and energy requirements, offering actionable insights for successful project siting.
By optimizing DAC siting and performance before projects are planned, NECTAR supports national decarbonization goals and advances climate targets.
Our software can be used for:

The NEgative CO2 Emission TrAnsition Roadmap (NECTAR) is a software tool that identifies optimal locations for carbon dioxide removal technologies. It accounts for climate conditions, social considerations, and the technical specifications of each unique technology to support informed decision-making.
NECTAR integrates a diverse range of high-quality datasets to provide comprehensive and accurate insights for DAC siting and project planning. Key data sources include global weather and climate data, proprietary geospatial datasets of CO2 storage and energy, and external datasets (e.g., water use, natural hazard risk).
NECTAR is designed to maximize the success of DAC and CCS project planning by providing comprehensive, integrated assessments. Its features include not only optimal site selection and network design but also detailed economic, financial, and social impact analyses. By leveraging Carbon Solutionsโ proprietary databases and award-winning software, NECTAR minimizes risks and supports efficient, effective carbon management strategies.
