RC Technologies (RCT) was founded on a bold vision—to lead the way in carbon capture innovation. The goal was to swiftly and effectively to tackle one of the planet’s most pressing challenges, climate change.
The pressure to act on climate change is intensifying across sectors. Regulations are tightening, investors are demanding transparency and customers expect real progress. Yet, many companies remain reliant on outdated carbon capture systems that are costly, complicated and difficult to scale.
RCT closes this gap with a simpler, faster and more powerful way to turn carbon into value.
As a direct carbon capture and utilization company, it enables industries to do more than reduce emissions. It helps them turn carbon into an economic asset. Through a proprietary, passive capture system, RCT removes CO₂ directly from the atmosphere and industrial exhaust streams. It converts it into high-performance materials that power clean technologies and support the circular economy.
Every breakthrough we’ve achieved has resulted from collaboration, ingenuity and an unrelenting drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible
The Blueprint for Effortless Carbon Capture
That mission began in a quiet moment of curiosity. One evening, while listening to a science podcast, Castillo heard a remark about the sheer volume of CO₂ saturating the atmosphere. It wasn’t breaking news. But it struck a chord.
“If it got into the atmosphere, there must be a way to remove it” he thought at the time. What followed was a relentless pursuit of knowledge. Late nights were spent pouring over research to understand every facet of carbon capture technology.
For Castillo, optimizing the status quo wasn’t enough. His mission was to build a solution that was more efficient, cost-effective and, most importantly, faster than anything available at the time.
He envisioned a radically different approach with a modular, flexible infrastructure that would capture emissions from both concentrated and diffuse sources. It needed to be a system that could be deployed rapidly, customized for different environments and—crucially—transform captured CO₂ into valuable outputs like fuel, feedstock and building materials.
Reinventing Carbon Capture
Traditional carbon capture systems rely on heavy infrastructure, energy-intensive fans and large-scale water use. RCT’s technology operates without any of them.
At the core of the system is a series of advanced solid sorbents, engineered materials that bind selectively with CO₂ molecules from ambient air or industrial exhaust streams. These materials draw in carbon passively, without mechanical force, fans or energy input. Once the sorbents reach saturation, the captured CO₂ is released through a low-energy regeneration process, avoiding high-pressure compression or deep storage.
Carbon is routed into modular conversion units, where it undergoes thermochemical and electrochemical reactions. The gas is transformed into outputs that can feed clean technologies and close industrial loops. This approach also delivers one of the industry’s highest carbon removal rates.
While RCT’s primary focus is direct air capture, it also offers point source solutions for the oil, cement and steel industries. These systems capture CO₂ directly from industrial exhaust, helping companies cut emissions at the source without overhauling existing systems.

RCT’s in-house manufacturing, powered by renewable energy, supports the clean conversion of captured carbon into valuable materials. These outputs—graphene, green hydrogen, and sustainable ammonia—enable cleaner production processes and open new revenue streams for industries seeking decarbonization and profitability.
Its capture-and-utilization model makes RCT a strategic partner for industries facing emissions challenges. In cement manufacturing, for instance, the technology reintegrates captured carbon into the production cycle, strengthening the end product while enabling a carbon-negative process.
The blend of simplicity and performance gives it a decisive edge, enabling rapid, safe deployment with minimal operational disruption. The modular design allows for seamless integration across sectors such as aviation, energy, steel production, mining and heavy manufacturing, industries that must drastically reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing operational efficiency. The system’s scalability enables rapid deployment in diverse environments, from large-scale industrial plants to remote facilities, ensuring a near-term impact on global emission reductions.
As demand for sustainable materials and cleaner manufacturing processes grows, RCT is uniquely positioned with a solution that aligns environmental responsibility with economic growth. Converting emissions into commercially viable products offers businesses a path to compliance with global regulations while enhancing profitability.
To support clients, RCT issues certified carbon credits for the carbon it captures and repurposes. The credits aid in compliance with regulatory bodies such as the SEC and other government agencies. Companies can share their commitment to sustainability with investors, stakeholders and the broader community, providing credible documentation of their environmental efforts.
Built by Experts, Engineered for Impact
While Castillo’s vision set the foundation of RCT, the technology was a team effort by a group of engineers, scientists and sustainability experts. They played a crucial role in refining the technology and scaling it into a commercially viable solution.

The team includes specialists across multiple disciplines, from mechanical and chemical engineering to material sciences and industrial design. Each member contributes to advancing the system’s efficiency, optimizing material performance and ensuring seamless integration into industries that need real solutions.
“Every breakthrough we’ve achieved has resulted from collaboration, ingenuity and an unrelenting drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible,” says Castillo.
RCT’s ability to attract top-tier talent speaks to the impact of its mission. It’s proof that when the right minds lead the charge, innovation becomes a powerful force for global change.
Looking ahead, it plans to expand into renewable energy solutions while driving innovation in carbon management.
In an era of climate anxiety, RC Technologies offers something rare; a vision of environmental action that’s as pragmatic as it is optimistic. Its technology reframes carbon from the byproduct of progress to its next raw material.
