About Ionada Ionada is a Canadian cleantech company developing compact, modular carbon capture systems based on hollow fibre contactor technology. Our systems capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industrial exhaust gases for storage or use in value-added products. We serve oil and gas, offshore production and marine, waste-to-energy and other industrial markets, with a focus on facilities where space and cost can limit carbon capture adoption.
