About us

We are an early startup with a big vision - remove 500 million tons of global CO2 emissions from the air by 2035 through Direct Air Capture, roughly the same weight as all humans on earth combined!

To meet our climate targets the reduction of CO2 emissions is not enough, the world actively has to remove billions of tons of CO2 from our atmosphere. To achieve that we at Ucaneo develop an innovative electrochemical Direct Air Capture technology mimicking the human lung to remove CO2 from ambient air.

We are a science and mission-driven team, fast-moving with a break-or-make attitude. Our office and industrial hall is located at Schwarze-Pumpe-Weg 16, 12681 Berlin including a large outdoor area to build one of the largest industrial DAC plants in Germany.

Our commitment to you:

• Impact: You will work on the biggest problem of our time, climate change, with the potential to impact the lives of billions of people
• Day to day: Full responsibility to design your own workstream and control your working hours with a very high degree of freedom, flat hierarchy and teamwork
• Professional growth: Join a disruptive high-growth tech startup from day 1 and grow / lead a high-performing team
