Trees are critical in the fight against climate change for their ability to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. However, as land space is limited, we also need solutions like direct air capture. On 0.42 acres, our Orca plant can capture up to 4000 tons of CO₂ from the air annually. That's almost 1000x more effective than trees on the same land (source).
Contribute to the scale-up of our direct air capture technology and permanently remove CO₂ from the air. 100% of your money goes toward CO₂ removal in your name, and you can update or cancel anytime.
See terms and conditions for Climeworks CDR services. The amount of CO₂ removed by trees varies by many factors; the approximations referenced on this page are based on this source.
The science is clear: to keep global warming below 1.5°C, we need both drastic emissions reductions and carbon dioxide removal. At Climeworks, we’ve developed an innovative technology called “direct air capture” to remove historic and unavoidable CO₂ from the air, so it can no longer contribute to climate change. In collaboration with Carbfix, our CO₂ storage partner in Iceland, we provide high-quality carbon dioxide removal that’s permanent, measurable, and scalable.
Climeworks operates the world's first commercial large-scale DAC plant.
We combine our direct air capture technology with permanent underground storage. In Iceland, captured CO₂ is turned into stone and stored safely for thousands of years via the Carbfix method.
There’s no uncertainty about how much CO₂ we remove because we can measure exactly, and our service is third-party verified.
Our technology is highly scalable and location independent. There's global potential for direct air capture and storage from the Middle East to North America.
