Inside the Global Direct Air Capture Conference: Art Burtis Presents Solar Air Tech

At the 2025 Global Direct Air Capture Conference, leaders from across climate science, engineering, policy, and capital gathered to advance one of the most urgent challenges in climate infrastructure: scaling technologies capable of removing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.

Convened by the Direct Air Capture Coalition, the conference serves as a working forum for the global DAC community—bringing together innovators, corporate members, researchers, and deployment partners focused on moving direct air capture from theory into real-world systems.

In this lightning-round presentation, Art Burtis, founder and CEO of Solar Air Tech, LLC and an active corporate member of the Direct Air Capture Coalition, addresses the full DAC field to present his invention and deployment approach. Speaking directly to the experts shaping the future of carbon removal, Burtis outlines the technical and strategic vision behind Solar Air Tech’s work and its role within the rapidly evolving global direct air capture ecosystem.
