Dotz Nano

What Dotz Nano does

Dotz Nano Limited is an Israeli-founded, ASX-listed (DTZ) nanotechnology company operating two product lines: Dotz Earth, a carbon capture technology platform built around proprietary solid sorbents derived from waste plastics, and Dotz Shield, a graphene and carbon quantum dot-based authentication and traceability solution for anti-counterfeiting. The Dotz Earth portfolio includes amine-modified polymer (AMP) sorbents marketed under the Dotzorb pAMP-P10 name, point-source capture sorbents for industrial flue gas, and direct air capture (DAC) sorbents, with claims of 3x higher absorption capacity than commercial sorbents and lower regeneration energy requirements. The company's R&D is anchored in Kefar-Sava, Israel, with headquarters in Melbourne, Australia, and is supported by partnerships with SINTEF Industry, Rice University, Bar-Ilan University, CarbonCapture Inc., and Hengst SE.

Dotz Nano generates revenue through sales of sorbent materials to industrial emitters and DAC system developers, licensing of authentication technology (DOTZshield/Validotz) to manufacturers in lubricants, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and cannabis, and structured technology partnerships with engineering and DAC players. The business model is predominantly B2B enterprise sales via direct engagement, with quote-based pricing for custom sorbent volumes and authentication deployments. Current production stands at hundreds of kilograms annually with a stated target of ton-scale by early 2027, and the company has secured approximately $16M in fresh capital across 2024–2025 to fund commercialization.

Headcount is small (11–50 employees), and disclosed revenue for FY2025 was approximately $286K, with annual operating losses of $4–9M. The company is in a pre-commercial to early-commercial phase for its carbon capture technology, with first commercial orders at kilogram scale for testing and demonstration, while the authentication business contributes modest but more distributed revenue across multiple verticals.

Core offering

Dotz Nano develops and commercializes proprietary carbon-based solid sorbent nanotechnology for CO2 capture from industrial flue gas and ambient air, alongside graphene and carbon quantum dot-based optical markers for product authentication, traceability, and anti-counterfeiting. Its sorbents are synthesized from waste plastics via pyrolysis and are deployed in Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Point-Source Capture (PSC) applications, while its DotzShield markers are integrated with detectors, mobile apps, and cloud software to enable supply chain authentication across industries such as lubricants, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.

Product overview

Dotz Nano operates two core product lines: Dotz Earth (carbon capture technology) and Dotz Shield (authentication/anti-counterfeiting). Dotz Earth encompasses solid sorbent products derived from plastic waste for CO2 capture, including Direct Air Capture (DAC) sorbents and Point-Source Capture sorbents, with the branded Dotzorb pAMP-P10 sorbent as a key product. Dotz Shield provides optical marker-based authentication using Graphene and Carbon materials, with the Validotz security marker as a commercial offering. The company positions itself as a nanotechnology provider serving industrial and climate technology markets.

Broad incumbents

• Systech (Dover): Provider of product authentication and traceability solutions including optical and digital markers, now part of Dover Corporation. Comparable to Dotz Shield as a competing authentication and anti-counterfeiting platform serving pharmaceutical, industrial, and consumer goods markets.
• 1PointFive (Occidental): Subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum operating STRATOS, one of the world's largest planned DAC facilities using Carbon Engineering's liquid solvent technology. Represents a well-capitalized incumbent with broader CO2 utilization ambitions that compete with Dotz's solid-sorbent approach.
• Authentix: Provider of authentication and supply chain integrity solutions for fuel, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods industries. Comparable to Dotz Shield as a competing authentication solutions provider serving similar end markets with marker-based and digital verification offerings.
• Honeywell UOP: Established licensor of carbon capture technologies, including solvent and adsorbent-based post-combustion capture systems. Competes broadly with Dotz in serving industrial emitters but as a much larger diversified process technology vendor rather than a sorbent-only specialist.

Emerging players

• CarbonOrO: Canadian DAC company deploying solid sorbent technology for industrial CO2 capture. Comparable as an early-stage competitor in the solid-sorbent DAC niche with a similar scale-up profile to Dotz.
• LanzaTech: US-based carbon capture and utilization company using gas fermentation to convert captured CO2 and industrial off-gases into fuels and chemicals. Comparable as a carbon capture technology developer addressing industrial emitters, though using a biological rather than solid-sorbent approach.
