Our solid solution to fight global warming
A proven technology
We develop, build and operate DAC plants. We have unrivalled operational experience across different climatic conditions.
To remove CO2 from the air And scaling up
We return the air-captured CO to ₂ earth by storing it safely and permanently underground.
We have an acceleration plan to increase our capacity to megaton scale by 2030, enabled by our modular and scalable technology.
How our technology works
Phase 1
Phase 2
• The air is drawn with a fan into the collector where the CO is captured on ₂ a filter material.
• The collector is then closed the temperature is increased up to 100 °C to release the CO₂, to be collected for storage.
What is direct air capture (DAC) and mineralization?
Energy supply, direct air capture and storage with Climeworks’ Orca
Direct air capture and storage (DAC+S) vs. carbon capture and storage (CCS)
CDR via DAC+S removes CO2 directly from the atmosphere, resulting in negative emissions
CCS captures fossil CO2 at point sources before it enters the atmosphere & stores it, resulting in avoided emissions
Climeworks offers one of the highest-quality carbon removal solutions
Permanent
CO2 is removed from air & stored for 10,000+ years.
Additional
We remove net CO from the ₂ atmosphere, only enabled by our customers.
Verified, soon certified
First & only 3rd party verified CDR via DAC+S based on independently validated methodology.
Puro certification of Orca in H1 2024
Scalable
Our technology is modular and has a low land footprint.
Over 160 corporate climate leaders trust Climeworks
