Climeworks, founded in 2009, is a leading company specializing in direct air capture (DAC) technology to combat climate change. Their innovative process involves capturing CO2 directly from the atmosphere using renewable energy. The CO2 is then either permanently stored underground or repurposed for use in products such as carbonated beverages and synthetic fuels. Climeworks operates the world’s largest DAC plant, Orca, in Iceland, which has the capacity to remove 4,000 tons of CO2 annually. Their technology offers a scalable solution to significantly reduce atmospheric CO2 levels, complementing other carbon reduction strategies.
By partnering with various industries and organizations, Climeworks aims to reach a net-zero carbon future. The company is also committed to transparency and scientific validation, working closely with experts and policymakers to ensure their methods are effective and sustainable. Climeworks’ vision is to inspire 1 billion people to remove CO2 from the air, driving a global movement toward a climate-positive world.
