Malibu, California Apr 3, 2026 – PlanetWEST has introduced a new climate technology tailored for expanding cities, engineered to bolster urban resilience and assist communities in managing increasing environmental challenges.

PlanetWest believes the next phase of urban climate action will focus on localized, quickly deployable upgrades rather than massive, remote projects. Its newly revealed MIDAC G2 (Pat.Pend.) system is described as “climate tech for cities,” targeting pollution at the street level where residents are most affected, while also reducing short-term warming agents that concentrate in traffic and industrial zones.

Real-Time Capabilities of MIDAC G2

MIDAC G2 (Mobile Intelligent Direct Air Capture) is engineered to integrate with existing vehicle radiator systems, allowing fleets to filter ambient air during their daily routes. Rather than focusing solely on gaseous emissions, PlanetWest highlights the capture of solid carbon-based particulate matter, particularly black carbon, which tends to peak in urban hotspots. These captured particles are processed and stored for later removal, with disposal or recycling occurring after collection.

Why Cities Are Prioritizing Black Carbon as a Rapid Target

This initiative comes as many municipal climate plans combine air quality measures with decarbonization efforts, such as stricter fleet standards and low-emission zones. PlanetWest’s strategy aligns with this overlap, suggesting that black carbon mitigation supports long-term CO2 reduction goals. The company also utilizes AI-supported monitoring and modeling to identify pollution hotspots and evaluate the impact of environmental policies over time.

Future Outlook and Strategic Impact

PlanetWest is positioning its MIDAC G2 system as a significant advancement in urban climate innovation, prioritizing scalable, neighborhood-level upgrades over large-scale infrastructure. Marketed as a city-centric climate solution, MIDAC G2 aims to lower street-level pollution and address short-lived warming agents in high-traffic zones, providing a strategic model for achieving measurable environmental results in urban settings.
