1. Present yourself and your organization.
My name is Finn Eriksson and I am the Managing Partner at Nordic DAC Group, a partner in the Passive DAC project focused on advancing carbon removal technologies. Our mission is to support the deployment of innovative, low-cost Direct Air Capture (DAC) solutions in the Nordic region. We bring industry knowledge, market insight, and commercialization strategies to help scale sustainable carbon capture initiatives.
2. Describe your role in the project and the expertise you contribute.
Nordic DAC Group contributes with strategic expertise in market development, commercialization, and exploitation planning. Our role involves identifying scalable business models, evaluating CDR and carbon market opportunities, and helping define how Passive DAC systems can become economically viable in Nordic and global contexts.
3. What are you currently working on within the project?
Currently, we are focused on refining the exploitation and scale-up strategy for the Passive DAC system. This includes mapping stakeholder needs, evaluating value propositions. We're also identifying early adopter markets and policy frameworks to accelerate adoption.
4. Project progress/milestones. What would you consider your biggest achievement or success in the project so far? What aspects do you find most exciting or valuable?
A key milestone has been exploring with stakeholders a scalable business model and strategy for utilizing industrial by-products in carbon capture.
5. What are the next steps for you or your wp/team in the project?
Our next steps involve engaging with additional potential customers and partners, validating business models, and continuing market research to refine pricing strategies. We’re also plan to helping coordinate with third-party verification platforms (e.g. Puro.earth) to ensure carbon credits from the Passive DAC system can be certified and sold.
6. Looking ahead, what role do you think Passive DAC systems could play in the future of carbon management? Why is this project important?
Passive DAC systems offer a cost-effective and scalable pathway for removing atmospheric CO₂, especially in regions with large volumes of industrial by-products. This project is important because it addresses both climate goals and industrial sustainability, providing a circular, permanent carbon removal method with global gigaton potential.
