The great thing Climeworks and their modular carbon collectors is that they are imminently scalable. Check out first hand Nostos on Serifos this summer, the first sustainably boutique hotel on the island. Fellow Aficionados’ friends at hotel Nostos have seen the light with this innovative new technology and are supporting Climeworks and the sustainability of rugged Cycladic isle Serifos with the use of Climeworks to contribute to the permanent removal of carbon from the atmosphere. This last part is done in collaboration with Carbfix, an Icelandic company who have designed a way to turn captured carbon into stone using a natural process of mineralisation.Ĭlimeworks also provide carbon solutions for small and large businesses, individuals and enterprises wishing to lower carbon emissions and aim for net zero. It is then drawn deep underground where they can remain safely for thousands of years. Once it has done so, the fan (located in a box) is sealed and heated to 100 degrees which releases the particles. Using a three-step process, air is sucked into a specially constructed fan, in which a filter sits, ready to collect the carbon dioxide particles. If you’re wondering how it works, let us describe in their words, “we capture CO₂ directly from the air, reducing the atmospheric concentration of CO₂ by only using renewable energy, energy-from-waste, or other waste heat as energy sources.” Founded in 2009, Climeworks is now the leader in direct air capture (DAC) technology. Introducing Climeworks, an idea so inherently simple yet rooted, quite literally, in scientific basis, technological advances and dedication to the challenge of climate change with its aim to directly capture and remove CO₂ from the air. With their pristine alpine playground under threat and climate change witnessed first-hand, the duo decided to put their engineering skills to use to find a solution to the earth’s warming atmosphere, due to trapped carbon. Both enjoyed time in the mountains together and it was here that their love for the Alps was brought into stark contrast with the retreating of the glaciers. Meeting on the first day of uni in Zurich, students Jan and Christoph became firm friends, their ideals aligning in alpine sports alongside their enthusiasm for mechanical engineering. Jan Wurzbacher, is an ambitious yet wholly operable business that captures existing carbon dioxide directly from the air. Climeworks, founded by university pals Dr. When passion, innovation and technology come together the results can be powerful.
