About
Spiritus is a Los Alamos National Lab spinout developing low-cost Direct Air Capture using a proprietary sorbent and passive (fan-less) air contacting, targeting ~$100/ton. The company has raised $41 million total since emerging from stealth in September 2023, including a $30M Series A in March 2025 led by Aramco Ventures. It is building a 1,000-ton/year pilot on Nambé Pueblo tribal land in New Mexico and the planned 2-megaton “Orchard One” DAC+S facility in Wyoming with Casper Carbon Capture.
