Now more than ever, policymakers, climate scientists and businesses are advocating for diverse, scalable and science-based portfolios of carbon removal solutions.
Climeworks is meeting this demand. Last month, we reached a major milestone: over 450,000 tons of certified carbon removals facilitated, spanning both nature-based and engineered projects. Within durable removal, Climeworks now leads globally, accounting for over 40% of all platform-based transactions in 2025, according to cdr.fyi.
Today, hundreds of companies with multi-billion dollar revenues, such as SAP, Schneider Electric, NYK Line, Morgan Stanley, Capgemini, TikTok, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Accenture, PwC, and UBS, trust Climeworks to guide them through the fast-evolving carbon removal landscape.
Why Portfolios are the future
At COP30 in Belém, Johan Rockström reminded delegates that “CDR needs to remove some 600 billion tons of CO₂ between now and 2100.”
The question is how.
No single approach can deliver on its own. The Tony Blair Institute’s recent white paper further reinforced what our customers already know: a portfolio approach is the most effective way to maximize climate impact.
The latest draft of the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard also echoes this by encouraging action and calling on companies to take responsibility for ongoing emissions, and rewarding those who do. In practice, that means building balanced carbon-removal portfolios that combine near-term scale with long-term permanence.
Nature-based removals like afforestation deliver immediate impact and vital co-benefits such as biodiversity gains, community resilience, and are available at scale today. Engineered removals such as DAC and BECCS offer unmatched durability and traceability, and will become increasingly important as availability rises and costs fall.
A portfolio approach unites both: acting now while investing in the higher durability, technology-based capacity the world will rely on later this century.
A truly end-to-end service
When working with Climeworks, project partners join an ecosystem built on integrity, scalability, and scientific rigor.
Climeworks actively partners and guides organizations in building tailored portfolios. We work with our partners across the whole lifecycle, including strategic advisory, sourcing, due diligence, supplier engagement, and monitoring.
Our expertise is built on fifteen years of pioneering work in the industry. As the only company operating a commercial, AAA-rated, high-durability carbon removal project, we know what true quality looks like—because we engineered it and continue to raise the bar every day. That same rigor underpins every portfolio we design for our partners.
To deliver this, we bring together 250+ engineers and scientists with market experts and project specialists to ensure every removal meets our industry-leading quality criteria, which has been endorsed by BeZero. Our scientific advisory network includes professors from leading research universities, grounding every decision in evidence and transparency.
Through a curated pipeline of hundreds of vetted projects, we connect buyers to the most credible and impactful removals available.
The projects featured below represent just some of the options that can be integrated depending on each organization’s portfolio goals:
Stockholm Exergi, BECCS
Sweden
Captures and stores biogenic CO₂ from combined heat and power plants to deliver durable and additional carbon removal, with energy co-benefits including district heating, running on sustainably and locally sourced forestry residues.
Alt Carbon, ERW
India
Deploys basalt rock dust on farmland to boost soil health and crop yields, while locking CO₂ as stable bicarbonates for over 1,000 years, creating local jobs and supporting sustainable agriculture.
Tellus, Biochar
Brazil
Converts agricultural residues into biochar that enriches soils and provides long-term carbon storage, improving water retention and nutrient availability to strengthen agricultural resilience for farmers.
Terraformation, AFRF
Colombia
Restoring degraded tropical and montane forests through participatory restoration and agroforestry to boost carbon sinks, biodiversity, and local community well-being.
MASH Makes, Biochar
India
Uses modular pyrolysis units to turn agricultural residues into biochar, creating scalable rural carbon sinks and improving soil health.
Lithos, ERW
USA
Applies finely ground basalt rock to croplands, accelerating natural mineral weathering to lock away atmospheric CO₂ for over 1,000 years, while supporting farmer income and long-term operational stability.
BioCirc, BECCS
Denmark
Turns organic feedstocks into renewable energy while capturing and storing biogenic CO₂ underground, providing permanent removals.
CarbonZero.eco, Biochar
USA
Processes almond shells into biochar in California, delivering durable carbon removal and supporting healthier, more productive soils for local farms.
aDryada, AFRF
Ivory Coast
Restoring 70,000 hectares of rainforest in Ivory Coast while improving communities’ livelihoods.
Alcom, Biochar
Philippines
Alcom creates a circular agroeconomy by converting rice husks and straw into renewable energy, biofuel, and biochar: powering rice mills, enhancing soil fertility, and durably removing carbon from the atmosphere.
InPlanet, ERW
Brazil
The world's first certified Enhanced Rock Weathering Carbon Removal credits. Scaling gigaton CO₂ removal while regenerating tropical soils.
Truecoco, Biochar
Ghana
Ghana’s first industrial-scale biochar project converts coconut husks into biochar to improve soil health, reduce waste, store carbon long-term, and support smallholder farmers.
goodcarbon, AFRF
Mexico
Revitalizing native forests through participatory restoration, active forest management, and long-term conservation agreements under rigorous third-party standards.
AtlantiCO2, Biochar
Brazil
Produces biochar from wood processing residues to improve soil health and provide long-term carbon storage, supporting resilient agriculture.
Canopia, AFRF
Mexico
Implements community-driven forest restoration with strong local engagement and 100-year agreements, following rigorous monitoring and the highest current standards for transparency and sustainability.
