VIDEO: THE WORLD'S FIRST COMMERCIAL CARBON REMOVAL TECHNOLOGY IS HERE!

Climeworks is a company that might actually change the way of the future. The company is capturing CO2 from the air with the world's first commercial carbon removal technology. 

Climeworks built and operate the world's first commercial direct air capture plant in Hinwil, Switzerland. The direct air capture plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere, removing 900 tonnes of CO2 from the ambient air per year (as seen in the video below). 

Climework's plants capture atmospheric carbon with a filter, using mainly low-grade heat as an energy source. The pure CO2 gas is sold to customers in the key market, including commercial agriculture, food and beverage industries, the energy sector and the automotive industry. 

Customers utilise the CO2 in carbonated drinks or for producing carbon-neutral hydrocarbon fuels and materials. By using Climeworks customers can reduce their overall emissions as well as lowering their dependence on fossil energy. 

Their plants are modular, scalable and can be located independently of emission sources, allowing the security of supply wherever there is atmospheric air. Importantly Climework's plants can be utilised for negative emission, which will be vital in the quest to limit the global temperature rise of 2ºC.

Compared to other carbon removal technologies, direct air capture does not depend on the arable land, has a small physical footprint, and is fully scalable. Founded by engineers, Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher, Climeworks has assembled the largest team of experts in the field and developed high-quality testing and production facilities.

Climeworks ultimate goal is to capture one percent of global emissions by 2025. Have a look at the video to find out more about the company and their future mission.
