Synaergy is a spin-out company from Trinity College Dublin, co-founded by Prof. Wolfgang Schmitt and Dr. Sebastien Vaesen. The company develops and commercialises modular, energy-efficient direct air capture (DAC) solutions aimed at enabling carbon circularity across a range of industrial applications.
Synaergy's technology captures CO₂ directly from ambient air at low operating temperatures (below 100°C), harnessing industrial waste heat to minimise operational costs. The system produces high-purity CO₂ suitable for direct use, geological sequestration, or as a sustainable feedstock for fuels and chemicals. It is modular, scalable, and location-independent, making it adaptable to a wide range of industrial settings with minimal footprint.
The company is currently active across several high-profile deployments and partnerships, including a carbon capture prototype at Dublin Airport, a system for ESB power plant deployment, and a collaboration with CERN to design a carbon capture unit for the CMS experiment. Synaergy's technology is patent-protected and underpinned by over a decade of research and development at Trinity College Dublin.
