Soletair Power, a trailblazer in carbon capture technology, has launched an AI-generated music video titled “Carbon Ghostbusters,” released on April 1, 2025. This innovative creation fuses the nostalgic charm of the classic Ghostbusters theme with a modern mission: capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) to combat climate change. Available now on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54d_M-2lt1w), the video transforms the fight against emissions into a funky, visually captivating anthem designed to inspire global action.
What Is “Carbon Ghostbusters” All About?
Imagine CO2 as mischievous ghosts haunting our planet—elusive, pervasive, and threatening. Soletair Power’s “Carbon Ghostbusters” reimagines these emissions as ghosts to be busted, drawing a clever parallel to the iconic 1980s film. The video, entirely crafted by artificial intelligence, features a reimagined version of the Ghostbusters theme song with lyrics and visuals that spotlight Soletair’s mission: turning buildings into carbon-capturing powerhouses.
What Does Soletair Power Do, Exactly?
Soletair Power, founded in 2016 in Finland, is a leader in direct air capture (DAC) technology. What’s DAC? It’s a method of pulling CO2 directly from the atmosphere, not just from industrial smokestacks. Soletair’s innovation lies in integrating this technology into building ventilation (HVAC) systems, turning offices, data centers, and commercial buildings into carbon sinks—places that remove more CO2 than they emit. Each modular unit can capture up to 20 tons of CO2 per year, up to 400 tons of CO2 per building annually. The captured CO2 can then be stored permanently (e.g., in concrete), closing the carbon loop.
Why Focus on Buildings?
Buildings account for nearly 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions, making them a critical battleground for climate action. Soletair’s HVAC-integrated direct air capture systems tackle this head-on by capturing CO2 from the air by utilizing ventilation fans already running in buildings, while also reducing energy costs through optimized ventilation. It’s a scalable, urban-friendly solution that complements nature-based efforts, offering a practical way to decarbonize cities.
How Does This Tie into Climate Change?
Climate change is driven by rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere, which trap heat and disrupt ecosystems. Can we really stop it? The IPCC says we need to remove billions of tons of CO2 annually to limit warming to 1.5°C.
What’s Next for Soletair Power?
Soletair is scaling up, with installations already in Finland, Germany, Denmark, and the UAE. The company plans to expand its building-integrated DAC systems globally, targeting net-zero cities. The “Carbon Ghostbusters” video is a stepping stone to broader awareness, paving the way for partnerships and policy support. As CEO Petri Laakso puts it, “We’re not just capturing CO2—we’re capturing imaginations to drive change.”
Who You Gonna Call?
The video ends with a playful yet pointed question: Who you gonna call? Soletair Power, of course. Whether you’re a building owner, a policymaker, or just someone who loves a good tune, “Carbon Ghostbusters” offers a fresh take on a serious issue.
