Every year on the 22nd of April, Earth Day mobilizes an environmental movement. For over 50 years now, Earth Day encouraged and enabled people to take climate action. As it is our mission to enable 1 billion people to take climate action, we support this goal wholeheartedly. This year’s Earth Day theme is ‘Restore our Earth’. Restoring our earth means restoring the climate: this Earth Day Climeworks empowers everyone to multiply their impact and remove as much CO₂ as possible.  

After the time for the trial subscription, it stops automatically. We do not transfer it into a normal subscription. If you would like to stay onboard to reverse climate change (we hope so!) you can go to your account and subscribe to a plan that suits you.

Choose a level of climate-positive action that matches your lifestyle and complete the sign up. No strings attached, you can tell us to stop our carbon dioxide removal service for you at any time. Each year, we send you a confirmation of the amount of carbon dioxide removal you have ordered. No middle-men, no unintended side effects: easy and direct climate action.

To remove CO₂ in your name, Climeworks does two things:

1) Build and install CO₂ capture plants at sequestration sites where CO₂ can be stored

2) Operate the CO₂ capture plants and hand over the CO₂ to our storage and monitoring partners (in Iceland this is Carbfix), who proceed with underground storage of the CO₂.

Building and installing a plant typically takes 1-2 years, the foreseen operational time of a plant is currently 10 years (and will presumably be even longer for future plants). Our CO₂ removal service and the safe and permanent storage underground are completed within 5 years or earlier following the subscription date.

For comparison, this is at least 2 times faster than for typical other CO₂ removal approaches (for example, if trees are planted, it will typically take at least 10 years until the CO₂ is removed from the air, for natural mineralization processes (enhanced weathering), it might take at least an order of magnitude longer to complete CO₂ removal).

Pioneers are people who decided to support our climate-positive journey, e.g. by subscribing to our CDR service.

You pay for the removal of CO₂ from the air. Additional overhead costs (that include "behind the scenes" work from our R&D, marketing, finance & admin teams) are included in the subscription prices.
