Abilities at Your Disposal
In the realm of air purification and climate control, a wave of innovation is sweeping across Denmark. Four Danish startups, Airlich, Applied Photonix, Innova NanoJet, and Adsorbi, are making significant strides in creating sustainable, efficient, and high-performing solutions for various industries.
First, let's delve into Airlich IP ApS. Founded in 2022 by Helle Jerichau, Airlich's EcoGain™ technology is making waves in the industry. This system, designed for extremely controlled environments like semiconductor clean rooms, boasts the ability to remove up to 90% of gas and particle pollutants in a single pass. A notable example of its success can be seen in a single free-standing McDonald's restaurant in Denmark, which reduced its CO2 emissions by up to 19 tons per year by implementing Airlich's EcoGain™.
Moving on to Applied Photonix, their ViroZap technology is a game-changer in the fight against airborne pathogens. This technology, which has received FDA 510(K) clearance, utilizes a combination of filtration, advanced plasmonic photonic technology, and LED lighting to destroy pathogens in the air. The ViroZap technology has been tested on a wide variety of airborne microorganisms and shown over 4 log reduction in a short period of time.
Innova NanoJet is another trailblazer in the field, using supersonic, ultra-fine nano-scale droplet sprays for filter-free air purification. This innovative approach destroys 99% of airborne pollutants, eliminating the need for costly filter replacements, reducing maintenance costs compared to traditional filtration systems.
Last but not least, Adsorbi is making a name for itself with its cellulose-based adsorbent material. This material, first developed to capture VOCs in museums to protect sensitive artwork, effectively captures volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and gaseous ammonia (NH3). Adsorbi's material has a low environmental impact throughout the entire value chain and a longer lifespan than industry-standard materials. The startup is planning to manufacture 100 tonnes of Adsorbi material annually and boasts 50% lower CO2 emissions than traditional filters.
These Danish startups are not only making strides in their respective fields but are also contributing to a more sustainable future. The Danish Energy Agency's Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (EUDP) awarded Airlich a grant of DKK 7.35 million in February 2025, and Adsorbi won the national final at the SEB Next Awards in the New Ideas category in September 2024. The future of air purification and climate control is undoubtedly bright, with these innovative Danish startups leading the way.
