## About

Founded in 2023 by CEO Kei Ikegami and based in Tokyo, Japan, Planet Savers, Inc. is engaged in creating systems to collect carbon dioxide molecules directly from the air so they can be buried or used for other purposes. In April 2024, Planet Savers, Inc. raised JPY 250 million in seed funding from investors Spiral Capital and JAFCO Group.

The company offers Direct Air Capture (DAC), a technology system that captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere. The technology captured CO2 that was stored underground or used as a raw material for synthetic fuels. Utilising adsorbent materials, such as zeolite, and optimised modular design, reduced energy requirements, low-maintenance adsorbents with extended lifespans, and modular system design to minimise construction costs.

The company will use the April 2024 funding to develop the prototype of its carbon dioxide direct air capture machine and to strengthen its organisation.
