YOUWAN Concentration Consultants focuses on providing solutions for water, metal, and carbon recycling. Their pioneering “YOUWAN method” offers a revolutionary approach for high-rate direct air capture (DAC) with a concentrating rate of 150,000 times. The method helps industries achieve 100% recycling of water, metals, and carbon dioxide through low-cost, high-efficiency processes. YOUWAN creates a triple carbon reduction effect through their DAC technology, leading to electricity savings, CO₂ removal, and carbon sequestration. First, by producing CO₂-free air for HVAC systems, YOUWAN reduces the energy required to treat humidity. Meanwhile, the company’s adsorption tower captures and removes CO₂ from the atmosphere. Finally, the captured CO₂ is converted into calcium carbonate, which serves as an alternative material for cement, locking away the carbon permanently.
