This document provides an overview of Climeworks, a company that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air using modular collectors. It summarizes Climeworks' technology and solutions for supplying CO2 to commercial customers and producing renewable fuels. Key highlights include Climeworks operating the world's first commercial direct air capture plant and carbon dioxide removal plant in 2017. The presentation outlines Climeworks' vision to capture 1% of global CO2 emissions by 2025.
Climeworks - Capturing CO2 from air
- 3. 3PUBLIC 87% of IPCC mitigation scenarios compatible with the 2°C target – and all those compatible with the 1.5°C target – rely on the assumption of large-scale CO2 removal WHY DIRECT AIR CAPTURE

- 14. 14PUBLIC CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL FLAGSHIP World’s first carbon dioxide removal plant enabled by DAC Plant type: DAC-1 CO2 capacity: 135 kg/day CO2 application: Mineralization Heat source: Geothermal Location: Hellisheidi, Iceland Commissioned: 11th Oct 2017
- 15. 15PUBLIC CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL FLAGSHIP 1 CO2 is captured directly from ambient air using renewable, e.g. geothermal energy. CO2 is pumped underground at favorable CO2 storage sites, e.g. Iceland. 2 3 CO2 reacts with underground rock formations and is mineralized. CO2 is thereby bound permanently and safely, reducing the CO2 content of the atmosphere.
