✨We are beyond proud to be able to partner on the latest project with the Palmdale Water District and portfolio company Capture6 as they break ground on their new water treatment plant which will turn wastewater into drinking water and also remove CO2 from the atmosphere. “A lot of direct air capture solutions serve the oil and gas industry in ways that enable greenwashing and continue pollution. This solution is totally different.” said Danya Hakeem, VP of Portfolio at Elemental Excelerator 🌱💧
