# BetaClimate > BetaClimate designs, engineers, and deploys outdoor air purification systems to reduce Air Quality Index (AQI) levels in open, public spaces — parks, streets, construction sites, industrial zones, and public events — rather than indoors. Its two core products are VAAN (a fixed standalone unit, nicknamed "The Mechanical Tree") and AntiPollution (a truck-mounted mobile fleet), coordinated by VAAN OS, an operating/monitoring layer for deployed units. BetaClimate is based in Gurugram, India. BetaClimate exists to close a specific gap: outdoor air pollution has no equivalent of the infrastructure that exists for water or electricity. Most air purification technology targets indoor spaces, while people spend significant time outdoors in streets, parks, construction zones, and public spaces where pollution is often worse. ## Mission - Over 90% of the world breathes air that exceeds safe pollution limits. - 83 of the world's 100 most polluted cities are in India (IQAir World Air Quality Report 2023). - India's outdoor PM2.5 levels routinely run more than 10x above WHO's annual safe guideline. - Air pollution costs India an estimated $339B annually — about 9.5% of GDP. - An estimated 2 million people in India die every year from air pollution-related causes. - BetaClimate's stated goal: "clean air is a right, not a privilege" — engineering scalable, rapidly deployable air purification for hotspots wherever they appear, starting with the cities that need it first and expanding toward a national network. ## Products - **VAAN** — Flagship fixed/standalone outdoor air purification unit ("The Mechanical Tree"). Self-contained, rapid installation, no additional infrastructure required. Five-stage filtration: self-washing coarse pre-filter → PM10 filter → PM5 filter → precision PM2.5 filter → scrubber-plus-UV stage (400 water jets, ozone-free UV sterilisation). Purified air is released via vortex airflow mixed with fine water mist. - Independently tested and verified by NITTTR Chandigarh (Government of India) - 60–70% AQI reduction within a 20m radius - Processes roughly 1.24 crore (12.4 million) cubic feet of air per day at 9,000 CFM airflow, across a 30m effective purification height - Cleanses air across approximately 3 acres daily - Patents applied for its carbon capture technology; powered sustainably via renewable energy - Best suited for: public parks & plazas, residential societies, busy street junctions, school/campus grounds, corporate campuses, hospital & healthcare zones - **AntiPollution** — Mobile, truck-mounted version of the same vortex + mist filtration technology, deployed directly to locations with rising AQI in real time. Available in three configurations: - **AntiPollution 3** (Standard) — 3 filtration stages; best for streets, construction sites, general dirty-air purification - **AntiPollution 5** (Specific) — 5 filtration stages; best for daily deployment in high-population areas - **AntiPollution 8** (Heavy Duty) — 8 filtration stages; best for heavy traffic, dense urban areas, and industrial zones - Best suited for: construction & demolition sites, large public events (festivals, marathons, weddings), and other locations with sudden or temporary AQI spikes - **VAAN OS** — The operating/software layer connecting deployed units: real-time AQI and metrics tracking, environment configuration controls, AQI-over-time graphing (breathing height vs. surrounding area), and 3D spatial visualization of purifier tower layout. Described as the system that "runs the city" by turning sensor and weather data into dispatch decisions and verified records. - **AI / Predictive Layer** — Described as the data-driven core within VAAN OS intended to forecast pollution and guide fleet response: anticipating pollution hotspots from weather and traffic patterns, selecting operating speed based on AQI/density/filter/cost, optimizing intake/discharge using wind direction, and detecting filter choking, pump wear, and sensor drift. ## Use Cases - Public parks & plazas — municipal & civic bodies - Residential societies — real estate developers, RWAs - Busy street junctions — municipal corporations - School & campus grounds — educational institutions - Corporate campuses — corporates, IT parks (ESG disclosure support) - Hospital & healthcare zones — hospitals, healthcare campuses - Construction & demolition sites — construction & infrastructure firms - Large public events — event organisers ## Sustainability & ESG - Low water consumption per purification cycle - Energy-efficient filtration system, renewable-energy powered - Built for long-term outdoor durability - Offers verified carbon credits for purchase, allowing organisations to offset footprint while supporting clean-air infrastructure - Positioned as a measurable, verifiable input for corporate ESG reporting and disclosures ## Company - Headquartered in Gurugram, India - Contact available via the website contact form for deployment inquiries, investment, partnerships, or general questions ## Pages - [Home](https://betaclimate.com/index.html): Mission, product overview (VAAN, AntiPollution, VAAN OS, AI layer), sustainability commitments, and company vision - [Use Cases](https://betaclimate.com/usecase.html): Detailed breakdown of deployment scenarios for VAAN (fixed) and AntiPollution (mobile) across parks, societies, streets, schools, corporate campuses, hospitals, construction sites, and events - [FAQ](https://betaclimate.com/faq.html): Answers on what BetaClimate does, why outdoor air (not indoor), who it's built for, how it compares to trees/green walls, and technical details on VAAN, AntiPollution, and VAAN OS, with references to source data (IQAir World Air Quality Report 2023, State of Global Air 2024) - [Contact](https://betaclimate.com/contact.html): Contact form and location (Gurugram, India) for deployment, investment, or partnership inquiries - [Privacy Policy](https://betaclimate.com/privacy.html): Data privacy practices - [Terms of Service](https://betaclimate.com/terms.html): Terms governing use of the website/services - [Cookie Policy](https://betaclimate.com/cookie.html): Cookie usage disclosure ## Optional - ESG Reporting and Documentation resources are referenced in the site footer for partners and organisations needing verified data for sustainability disclosures.
