To combat climate change, Climeworks is bringing direct air capture technology to market.
The DAC process pioneered by Climeworks and its co-founders is quite simple. It consists of modular COcollectors that can be stacked to build machines of any size that selectively capture carbon emissions via a two-step process. First, the air is drawn into the collector by a system of high-powered fans, where it is captured by highly-selective chemical filters.
"We have a portfolio of sorbents. The reason is that different sorbents behave differently in different conditions. Some perform best if it's humid and. Others like it cold and dry, others cold and wet. That's something we learned over the last ten or twelve years. We learned what sorbent works where."
As Casas explained, it is this combination of clean energy and storage capacity that ensures captured CO"There are two things you need if you want to remove COfrom the air. We need a certain input, which is the air and energy to run our plants. As an output, we have CO2. So ideally, our plant sits somewhere where we have renewable energy and a storage site. However, if a place doesn't have both, both renewable electricity and also CO2 can be transported to and from the site.
