About
Dac Labs (Dac Laboratories) is a University of Sydney spinout developing a low-cost, scalable direct air capture process using earth-abundant materials and leveraging natural mineral weathering/carbonation. Founded by Dr Sam Wenger, the company has published peer-reviewed work on aqueous electrochemical DAC and secured pre-seed backing from the University of Sydney, with a roadmap targeting a 10-tonne demo and progression to kilotonne pilots.
