Climeworks receives a royal visit 🤴 On Monday we had the pleasure of welcoming H.R.H Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Terje Aasland, Energy Minister of Norway to our exhibition booth at ONS Norway. Climeworks' Chief Project Development Officer, Daniel Nathan (pictured left) said "It was an honor to receive a visit from the prince and for him to recognize the important work Climeworks is doing in the fight against climate change." #Climeworks #CarbonRemoval #ClimateAction #Technology Rachael Mather Karina Veloso Oscar Schily

With our DAC technology, we remove CO₂ from the air to fight global warming.
Info
Climeworks empowers people and companies to fight global warming by offering carbon dioxide removal as a service via direct air capture (DAC) technology. At Orca, Climeworks’ DAC facility in Iceland, the CO₂ is permanently removed from the air by capturing and geologically storing it for thousands of years with Climeworks’ storage partner Carbfix. Climeworks’ DAC facilities run exclusively on clean energy, and our modular CO₂ collectors can be stacked to build machines of any capacity. Founded by engineers Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher in 2009, Climeworks is on a journey to climate impact at scale. To do so, we strive to inspire 1 billion people to act and remove CO₂ from the air.

We're excited to start our partnership with Terraset! Terraset is a U.S. nonprofit organization that channels philanthropic capital into high-quality carbon removal to further catalyze the sector's growth. We’re now part of their growing portfolio of solutions and look forward to sharing more about the collaboration in the coming weeks. #ClimateAction #innovation #technology
If you’re familiar with direct air capture (and if you’re following us, the chances are high!) then you almost certainly know about Climeworks. They’ve been at the forefront of the DAC industry since 2009 when they first captured CO2 from the air under lab conditions at ETH Zürich. Today, we’re making our first purchase from Climeworks. Familiar with the name but not the technology? Climeworks captures CO2 from ambient air using modular CO2 collectors that run exclusively on clean energy. Once the filter material inside the collectors is saturated with CO2, it is heated to release the CO2 for long-term storage. They launched the world’s first commercial DAC facility with storage in 2021, Orca, and recently increased their removal capacity with the inauguration of their second facility, Mammoth, in May. They were named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2024 and plan to develop one of the first DAC hubs supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Regional DAC Hubs program.

Exciting News! We are thrilled to share that Climeworks' Orca project has achieved a groundbreaking BeZero Carbon Rating of AAA—the highest rating in the industry! This is not only a first for us but also the first time such a rating has ever been awarded to anyone, marking a significant milestone for the carbon removal industry and Climeworks as a leader in the field. This prestigious rating from BeZero reflects the very high effectiveness of our projects in removing CO2 from the atmosphere. As a leading independent carbon ratings agency, BeZero’s assessment, supported by a robust team of climate scientists, geospatial experts, and analysts, reinforces the exceptional impact of our work. This achievement sets a new benchmark for the industry, highlights the transformative potential of direct air capture and carbon removal technologies. A huge shoutout to our partners who have made this achievement possible: our storage partner, Carbfix, whose innovative solutions ensure secure and permanent storage of captured CO2, and Puro.earth, our certifier, whose rigorous standards and validation have been integral to this success. With Orca's AAA rating, we're proud to lead the way in direct air capture and carbon removal, showcasing the future of climate action. #Climeworks #CarbonRemoval #BeZero #Carbfix #PuroEarth #ClimateAction #Sustainability

🌍 Earth Overshoot Day 2024: A Call to Action Today, August 1st, marks Earth Overshoot Day 2024 - the date when humanity's demand for ecological resources exceeds what our planet can regenerate in a year. As Climeworkers, this day serves as a powerful reminder of our mission and the impact of our work. Key facts: - 1.75 Earths: The number of planets needed to sustain our current level of resource consumption - 2,5 Earths: In 2022, it took 2.5 Earths to support humanity if everyone on the planet lived like people in Switzerland. - More than 80% of the world population live in countries which ecological budgets are in the red. - In 2024, US Overshoot Day is March 14. The German one is on May 2, while the Swiss Overshoot Day is on May 27 (NB: No info available for Iceland). How can we #MoveTheDate? - Implementing a $100/ton carbon price could shift it by 63 days - Generating 75% of electricity from low-carbon sources would move it by 26 days - Reducing workweeks without pay cuts could push it by 11 days At Climeworks, our goal is to reverse this trend by capturing and permanently removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. Earth Overshoot Day is a good reminder for our mission. Each day beyond this point signifies deeper ecological debt, reinforcing why our efforts are crucial in combating climate change. Together, we can create a more sustainable future. What actions will you take to #MoveTheDate? #EarthOvershootDay #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Climeworks Global Footprint Network

We're proud to extend our partnership with Zürcher Kantonalbank. The Swiss bank signed a long-term agreement with us to permanently remove around 1,750 tons of their unavoidable CO₂ emissions. As highlighted by CEO Urs D. Baumann, carbon removal represents a key part of their net-zero strategy. They already recognized the importance of direct air capture for our global climate goals in 2014 when our partnership first started - a decade ago, when this industry was nowhere near where it is today. Thank you for your climate leadership, Zürcher Kantonalbank! We’re looking forward to our continued collaboration. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g-iBeTCX #innovation #technology #ClimateAction
