About
Holocene Climate Corporation is a Knoxville, Tennessee DAC startup founded in 2022 that developed a liquid, low-temperature amino-acid/guanidine-based direct air capture process. After signing a landmark $10M/$100-per-ton/100,000-ton carbon removal deal with Google in September 2024, it was acquired in April 2025 by Occidental Petroleum’s Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, joining Carbon Engineering as part of Oxy’s DAC technology portfolio.
