Dotz Nano operates two principal business lines: Dotz Tech, which covers carbon nanomaterials including carbon-capture sorbents and product authentication solutions, and Dotz Energy, which delivers shared-savings energy efficiency solutions for thermally intensive buildings.
What is direct air capture — and why does sorbent material matter?
Direct air capture (DAC) is a technology that removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the ambient atmosphere, regardless of where those emissions originally came from. Unlike carbon capture systems installed at industrial smokestacks, DAC can operate anywhere and draws down existing atmospheric CO₂ rather than intercepting it at the point of release.
The performance of DAC systems depends heavily on the sorbent material used. A sorbent is a substance that binds to CO₂ molecules as air passes through the system, allowing the gas to be separated and stored or utilised. The capacity, durability, and efficiency of a sorbent directly determines how much CO₂ a DAC system can capture and at what cost. Poor sorbent performance is one of the central bottlenecks preventing DAC from scaling commercially, making the choice of sorbent supplier a technically and commercially significant decision.
Soletair Power’s specific approach involves retrofitting DAC systems onto existing HVAC infrastructure and industrial thermal systems in Nordic facilities, particularly thermally intensive buildings such as hotels and industrial sites. When a company of this standing selects a specific sorbent supplier under a multi-year commercial agreement, it carries meaningful weight as an independent signal of that supplier’s material performance and real-world suitability.
CEO voices and the investment case
What Soletair Power’s endorsement signals
Petri Laakso, CEO, Soletair Power Oy
“This partnership with Dotz validates our technology pathway and secures the sorbent supply essential for scaling our direct air capture operations. We’re pleased to work with an Australian innovator bringing world-class materials to Nordic carbon removal.”
An external customer’s public endorsement of Dotz’s sorbent performance carries considerably more weight than internal claims. Laakso’s statement represents third-party proof of real-world suitability within an active commercial DAC operation.
Dotz Nano’s commercialisation inflection point
Nati Harpaz, CEO, Dotz Nano Limited
“Moving Dotz from the laboratory to commercial customer engagement is a critical inflection point for our technology roadmap. Soletair Power’s validation of our carbon-capture sorbent demonstrates the real-world performance required for market adoption in direct air capture applications. This agreement marks the beginning of a significant commercialisation pathway for Dotz’s advanced materials in the climate solutions sector, and we anticipate further customer partnerships and scaling opportunities as demand for carbon removal solutions accelerates globally.”
Harpaz’s language is deliberate and forward-looking. Describing the agreement as “the beginning of a significant commercialisation pathway” positions this contract as the opening of a broader commercial series, rather than an isolated transaction. The reference to anticipated “further customer partnerships and scaling opportunities” suggests management views this as the start of a revenue ramp.
Harpaz’s appointment as CEO in June 2026 was structured explicitly around commercial execution, with his options package requiring share price appreciation of 50-100% above the pre-appointment VWAP before any vesting could occur.
What comes next for Dotz Nano
The announcement outlines a clear forward direction, grounded in Harpaz’s stated anticipation of “further customer partnerships and scaling opportunities as demand for carbon removal solutions accelerates globally.” Dotz Tech’s carbon-capture sorbent now has a named commercial anchor customer operating in the high-growth Nordic carbon removal market, providing a reference point for future commercial conversations.
The announcement does not describe this agreement as Dotz’s first-ever commercial contract. Harpaz’s framing of a “critical inflection point” reflects early-stage commercialisation momentum rather than confirming this is the company’s inaugural deal.
Dotz Nano is listed on multiple exchanges, including the ASX (DTZ), US OTC markets (DTZZF / DTZNY), and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under code 57N0, offering investors a range of access points to the stock.
