COP30 put a global spotlight on something we’ve always believed at Capture6: meaningful climate progress starts with water. As water scarcity intensifies and industries face mounting resilience challenges, solutions that strengthen water security while enabling decarbonization are becoming essential. That’s why Capture6 puts water recovery first: with durable carbon removal delivered as a powerful co-benefit. We are designed to accomplish three things at once: 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 COP30’s call for integrated, scalable climate solutions aligns directly with the work underway today. If your organization is looking to reduce water risk while accelerating climate goals, we’re ready to help. 📹 Watch our take on COP30 in full here: https://lnkd.in/gUWTKTUy #COP30 #Innovation #Water #Climate

The 2025 Climate Tech Conference, hosted by the Gyeonggi Provincial Government in South Korea, brought together global leaders at the intersection of innovation, policy, and sustainability to confront one defining challenge: how to scale solutions fast enough to meet the pace of climate change. At this year’s event, Capture6 CEO Ethan Cohen-Cole was honored to deliver a keynote address exploring that very question, and how technology, economics, and existing infrastructure must work together to drive transformation. Even when politics slows or resources tighten, technology keeps moving- but the pace of environmental change is accelerating faster than any innovation cycle in history. To reach the 22nd century in one piece, we must match that speed and scale solutions faster than ever before. Ethan shared that history’s great transformations didn’t come from starting over, but from connecting new ideas to existing strengths. At Capture6, we’re advancing this integration model by embedding breakthrough carbon removal technology within one of humanity’s oldest and most essential infrastructures — the water sector. Our approach turns industrial processes into powerful climate solutions. We are designed to create value, reduce emissions and restore balance to our most critical shared resource. A heartfelt thank you to Governor Kim Dong-yeon and the Gyeonggi Provincial Government for hosting such an impactful gathering, and for the opportunity to share the stage with climate leaders including Hawaii State Senator Chris Lee and Andrew Chang, CEO of New Energy Nexus. A special thank you to Max Han of Sopoong Ventures and Roy Tobert of Third Derivative for their support. #Water #Climate #Technology #Innovation #Korea

Through Elemental Impact’s Development-SAFE (D-SAFE) — an innovative and flexible financing tool — Capture6 was able to unlock critical capital to launch Project Monarch, our first-of-its-kind facility in Palmdale, California that produces fresh water 𝘢𝘯𝘥 removes carbon simultaneously. Project Monarch is bringing real impact to the Palmdale community. "Since Palmdale Water District is mandated to serve ratepayers and not earn profit, the 20-40% cost savings provided by Capture6’s process flows directly through to Palmdale Water District’s bottom line and supports their ability to lower ratepayers bills. This means that water bills can go down in Palmdale by virtue of using our technology." - Capture6 CEO Ethan Cohen-Cole We're proud to be partnered with the best at Elemental Impact #ClimateTech #Infrastructure #Water #Innovation
🎤 Only have a few minutes but want to understand how catalytic funding can unlock climate infrastructure? We sat down with Ethan Cohen-Cole, CEO & Co-Founder of Capture6, to talk about how Elemental’s D-SAFE investment helped launch their first-of-its-kind facility in Palmdale, California. This facility is removing carbon while producing fresh water for the local community. In this short Q&A, Ethan shares how the D-SAFE helped bridge the gap between venture and infrastructure finance, and what it means for the people their project serves. 👉 Read the interview

"At Capture6, every ton of CO₂ we remove brings more than carbon value — it creates freshwater, reduces waste brine, and yields green products. Our goal is simple yet bold: to make carbon removal cost zero, and its impact infinite." - Leo Hyoungkun Park, PhD We were honored to have our VP of Strategic Development Leo Hyoungkun Park, PhD share Capture6's perspectives on a panel at Japan CCUS Summit 2025. 💡 One key takeaway: carbon removal and water innovation are no longer separate conversations. As direct air capture (DAC) technologies mature, water-efficient and water-positive systems are emerging as the differentiators that can attract investment and unlock regional deployment. We’re proud to be part of this global dialogue on scaling negative emissions solutions that regenerate water, stabilize climate systems, and create lasting value. #Water #Invest #Climate

Capture6 CEO Ethan Cohen-Cole will be delivering a keynote speech at the upcoming International Climate Tech Conference in #Korea, which will take place between October 23-24. Ethan was invited by the Gyeonggi-do Province governor to speak on climate technology and water resilience as the Gyeonggi Provincial Government hosts conversations around cutting edge climate technologies. Gyeonggi-do Province has long-held a world-class reputation for innovative technology and high growth, and we're excited for Ethan to discuss using water technology to decarbonize and support resilience efforts. Through Capture6's Project Octopus, we're excited to continue work on our MoU with Korean national water leader K-water (Korea Water Resources Corporation). We continue to be grateful for support from Capture6 partner Hyundai Motor Company, whose support has been instrumental in launching our first-of-a-kind facility in Korea. Capture6 projects create lasting water impact by transforming waste brine into freshwater, reducing pressure on local water resources, and enabling carbon removal at scale. If you're in #Seoul for the conference and want to talk water recovery with Capture6, reach out to Leo Hyoungkun Park, PhD over LinkedIn! #Water #Climate #Invest

"Our pilots in Western Australia and Southern California are the initial phases of large-scale projects aimed at driving significant returns by integrating our technology into essential water treatment and green-transition infrastructure." - Ethan Cohen-Cole Over NYCW, Capture6 CEO Ethan Cohen-Cole joined a conversation with Elemental Impact on catalytic capital around first-of-a-kind (FOAK) facilities. He shared the stories of Project Monarch and Project Wallaby—real examples of how capital deployed strategically can overcome common scaling roadblocks for FOAK projects. Projects at early stages often face a catch-22: they need capital to scale, but can’t actually scale until they’ve proven they can deploy at scale. Both of our projects are industrial demonstrations that are the first phases of larger, contracted projects. In the coming 6 months, we're deploying on two continents simultaneously, with technology designed from day 1 to build at scale. We're growing a portfolio of deployments worldwide, influencing the financial architecture of climate solutions by example. We're excited to get there with Elemental Impact by our side. Thanks to Dawn Lippert, Danya Hakeem, Amir Chireh Mehr, Avra van der Zee, and the whole Elemental team for hosting a timely and much-needed conversation. #firstofakind #futurefavorsthebold #nexttoscale #NYCW #Invest #Water #Climate

We’re proud to share that Capture6 has officially been selected as a qualified team for #XPRIZEWaterScarcity, a $119 million, 5-year global competition made possible by the Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative. At Capture6, we’re tackling two urgent challenges at once: water scarcity and climate change. As the global climate crisis intensifies, the need for scalable, economically viable water recovery has never been greater. Water-stressed regions are turning increasingly to desalination, an industry that solves one critical issue: freshwater scarcity, while exacerbating another: the environmentally damaging and costly disposal of brine. Capture6 is implementing a systems-level approach to brine disposal that incorporates carbon removal through industrial symbiosis and co-benefit valorization. By embedding carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology within existing industrial desalination facilities, Capture6 generates decarbonization as a secondary benefit of addressing pressing issues like mounting freshwater scarcity and costly brine disposal. “𝘈𝘵 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦6, 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.
