Capture6 – Weekly Recap

Capture6 featured prominently this week for advancing its Project Monarch facility in Palmdale, California, and sharpening its focus on the nexus of water recovery and carbon removal. The company reported securing non-recourse, project-level financing from RSF | Regenerative Social Finance, with support from the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, to fund Phase 2 of Monarch.

Phase 2 is designed to scale Capture6’s integrated technology that converts brine, a costly byproduct of water recycling, into usable freshwater while removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. Once operational, the expanded facility is expected to remove about 25,000 tons of CO₂ annually, cut brine disposal costs for local ratepayers by up to 40%, and create jobs in California’s Antelope Valley.

Capture6 also highlighted construction progress at Project Monarch, describing the Palmdale facility as “actively underway” and moving from concept toward full infrastructure deployment. The project is being advanced with partners including Palmdale Water District, the California Energy Commission, and engineering firm Stantec, signaling growing institutional support around its technology.

The company underscored its long-term strategy of positioning water recovery and carbon removal at the core of its climate proposition. Recent communications framed freshwater and overlooked wastewater streams as undervalued resources that can deliver economic and environmental value when paired with carbon removal solutions.

At The Climate Center’s California Policy Summit, Capture6’s VP of Carbon Storage engaged with policymakers, community organizers, and environmental justice advocates on responsible deployment of carbon removal. The company tied its decision to site Project Monarch in Palmdale to California’s evolving policy frameworks around water scarcity, air quality, and resilience, emphasizing that carbon removal does not have to compromise water or energy security.

For investors, the combination of project financing, policy engagement, and visible construction progress suggests growing confidence in Capture6’s integrated water-carbon model. If Monarch performs as planned, the company could be better positioned to access policy-driven funding, public-private partnerships, and emerging markets for carbon credits and water savings, marking a constructive week for its future prospects.
