Climeworks

About

Climeworks is a pioneering company in the field of carbon dioxide removal, specializing in direct air capture (DAC) technology. Founded in 2009 by Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher, it has become a global leader in this area. Climeworks offers high-quality carbon removal services, empowering businesses and individuals to advance their net-zero goals. The company's DAC technology captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere, which can then be stored permanently underground or used as a raw material. Climeworks operates facilities powered by renewable energy, such as its Orca plant in Iceland, which partners with Carbfix for CO2 mineralization. Climeworks has recently introduced its Generation 3 DAC technology, which significantly enhances efficiency and reduces costs. This innovation supports the company's ambitious plan to scale up to megaton carbon removal capacities. Climeworks collaborates with major companies like Microsoft and UBS, contributing to the global effort to combat climate change. Its commitment to technology leadership and integrity has positioned Climeworks as a key figure in the carbon removal industry, with a focus on permanent and measurable CO2 removals.
