Our plants

From our first pilot plant to the world's largest DAC+S plant, we are scaling up carbon removal to combat the climate crisis.

Accelerating the scale-up of carbon removal

At Climeworks, we are setting the standard for Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology with groundbreaking facilities that actively remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Our journey began with Capricorn, our pilot plant in Zurich, Switzerland, and has since expanded to include milestone projects like Orca and Mammoth in Iceland—pioneering facilities that showcase the scalability of DAC. 

With the recent inauguration of Mammoth, the world’s largest DAC and storage plant, and plans underway for our next major facility, Cypress, in Louisiana, we are accelerating the global scale-up of carbon removal to meet the growing urgency of the climate crisis. 

Explore the evolution of our DAC technology and learn more about each plant’s unique features as we continue to build solutions that deliver measurable and permanent impact.
