About

8 Rivers Capital is a Durham, North Carolina-based climate technology developer founded in 2008 and majority-owned by Korean conglomerate SK. Its Calcite calcium-looping direct air capture technology anchors the DOE-funded Southeast DAC (SEDAC) Hub in Mobile County, Alabama, with Project Cardinal — the first commercial Calcite deployment — scheduled to begin FEED in 2025 following a September 2024 investment from JX Nippon (now ENEOS Xplora). Calcite is one of four technology platforms alongside 8RH2 low-carbon hydrogen, the Allam-Fetvedt power cycle, and sour-gas processing.
