The World’s First Commercial Carbon Removal Factory.

This startup is one of a handful of companies in the “direct air capture” industry. 

Meet Orca: Climeworks' new large-scale carbon dioxide removal plant in Iceland that "will take carbon dioxide removal to the next level by combining Climeworks' direct air capture technology with the underground storage of carbon dioxide provided by Carbfix. Orca will capture 4000 tons of CO₂ per year - making it the world's biggest climate-positive facility to date. Using Climeworks state of the art technology is one of the most impactful ways to stop climate change."

Newley launched, this looks like the next game-changer to curb our climate change. Read more about this impressive technology. 

I think from the climate front, it’s become increasingly clear that we can’t just stop emissions, and that we also have to think about cleaning up the legacy CO2 that remains in the air from the past.
