LITE Air Technologies DAC For a Brighter Future

about us
Welcome to LITE Air Technologies DAC — a mission-driven nonprofit committed to environmental innovation, clean energy, and climate justice.
​
I’m Francis Welch Hernandez, founder and visionary behind LITE Air. This organization was born from a deep love for my family and a lifelong passion to protect the planet. After witnessing the harmful effects of air pollution on my loved ones and my community, I envisioned a solution that would not only clean the air but restore hope for generations to come.
​
That vision became LITE Air — a patented, solar-powered air purification tower designed to remove carbon dioxide, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and other airborne toxins at an industrial scale. These towers don’t just clean the air — they light up the night, generate clean energy, and produce valuable carbon credits to reinvest into underserved communities.
​
Our team is rooted in family, faith, and resilience. We bring together expertise in clean technology, nonprofit development, environmental justice, and public health — all driven by the belief that every community deserves to breathe clean air and thrive.
​
We are committed to building a healthier, more sustainable world — starting in the places that need it most.

Our technology

Harnessing Air, Light, and Innovation to Clean Our Atmosphere
At LITE Air Technologies DAC, we have developed a revolutionary solution to fight pollution and climate change: a modular, solar-powered Direct Air Capture (DAC) tower that removes carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and airborne pollutants directly from the atmosphere — at industrial scale.
How the System Works
Our patented towers combine several advanced clean-air technologies in one seamless, autonomous structure:
-
Direct Air Capture
Captures up to 25,000-40,000 metric tons of COâ‚‚ per tower, per year, removing greenhouse gases from ambient air in real time.
-
Fusion Light Sterilization
Kills 99.99% of airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold using safe, high-frequency sterilization technology.
-
Electromagnetic Metal Capture
Pulls harmful airborne metals — such as mercury, lead, and cadmium — out of the air and into a secure collection system.
-
Smart Adaptive Filtration
Our filtration can be swapped out for dust storm screens, allowing continued operation during extreme weather.
-
Power Source
-
100% renewable energy: solar panels run the system day and night with battery backup
-
Operates autonomously with minimal maintenance
-
Customizable for Every Environment
-
Height Range: Towers can be built from 200 to 850 feet depending on the altitude and placement site
-
Designed for Urban, Industrial & Rural Settings
-
Translucent Structure with Beacon Lighting: Adds a symbolic and visual reminder of progress in the community
Data-Driven & Carbon Credit Ready
-
Real-time air monitoring and pollutant tracking
-
Integrated sensors feed into our remote dashboard for continuous oversight
-
Eligible for Verified Carbon Units (VCUs)
Turning Pollution into Progress
Every pollutant collected is a resource reclaimed:
-
Captured COâ‚‚ can be used for clean fuels or permanently stored
-
Metals can be recycled or safely disposed of
-
Carbon credits can fund new towers and community clean-energy projects
We don’t just filter air. We transform it.
Let’s partner to make clean air a reality for all.
