Skytree, a pioneer in direct air capture (DAC) technology, has announced its official market entry into New Zealand. The launch coincides with the EU-NZ Business Summit and marks a significant step in the nation's journey towards a circular economy while reinforcing the growing partnership between the Netherlands and New Zealand on sustainable innovation.

Technology Introduction at Business Summit

At the inaugural EUNZ Business Summit in Auckland, Skytree's VP Carbon Solutions, Camille Hanna, joined the panel discussion on Clean Tech innovation, presenting the company's pioneering carbon capture technology to New Zealand's political and business leaders. The discussion highlighted specific opportunities for applying this technology within the country's vital horticulture sector.

Following the panel discussion, New Zealand's Minister of Energy, Hon. Simon Watts, acknowledged the significance of the technology in his address: “There are some really exciting opportunities, like the work Camille Hanna highlighted around CO2 capture for the Horticulture space. New Zealand is a big player in horticulture, and this is definitely a challenge and opportunity that we face.”

Supporting International Climate Cooperation

Skytree's arrival directly supports the recently signed Joint Cooperation Statement between Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof and New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, which highlights a shared commitment to green growth and decarbonization. By deploying its advanced DAC technology, Skytree will provide local industries with a reliable source of circular carbon dioxide (CO2), helping reduce emissions and laying the foundation for sustainable fuels and chemicals of the future.

Camille Hanna expressed enthusiasm about the company's entry into the New Zealand market: “We have received an incredibly warm welcome, and we are thrilled to begin this journey in New Zealand. We chose New Zealand for its ambitious climate targets and the clear opportunity for our technology to make a significant impact across multiple sectors. This is a partnership in the truest sense, we are here to innovate with local industries, create new jobs in cleantech, and support New Zealand's transition to a circular economy.”

Strategic Focus and Local Collaboration

The decision to launch in New Zealand was driven by the country's strong commitment to combating climate change, its proactive stance on adopting clean technologies, and its abundant geothermal resources. Skytree will focus on fostering deep collaboration with the local workforce and native communities, ensuring that its investment creates lasting economic activity and supports a just transition.

Skytree's expansion was facilitated by the Dutch embassy's support, which played a key role in aligning the launch with the bilateral objectives of both nations. The project exemplifies the type of international cooperation needed to accelerate the global CO2 transition.

About Skytree's Technology

Skytree engineers the CO2 transition by developing Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that captures CO2 from the air and repurposes it for good: whether carbon is reused across different industries or stored permanently. With over a decade of innovation rooted in the European Space Agency (ESA), Skytree's patented DAC technology transforms atmospheric CO2 into a valuable resource, powering applications such as renewable fuels and chemicals, greenhouses, beverage carbonation, and water treatment.

Skytree's modular DAC machines and unique DAC Park architecture allow companies to deploy at scale in any climate, offering a bankable path to carbon capture and accelerating the transition to a circular CO2 economy.
