The company's modules capture CO2 directly from ambient air. The technology is based on an absorption/desorption process: a special filter material, the core component of each module, binds the CO2.[1] In May 2017, the company commissioned the world's first commercial project for capturing CO2 from ambient air, in Hinwil, Switzerland. The 18 Direct Air Capture modules filter 900 tons of CO2 per year, and the air-captured gas is sold to a greenhouse operator for use as an airborne fertilizer.[2] A demo project followed in October 2017. Within the CarbFix2 Horizon 2020 research project, one CO2 capture module was installed in Iceland. This module is carbon-negative (it produces negative emissions): The atmospheric CO2, which is captured by the Climeworks module, is sequestered underground, where it mineralizes and turns into stone within two years. [3][4]. Climeworks refers to the process of capturing CO2 from ambient air and storing it underground as Carbon Dioxide Removal.[5] HistoryClimeworks is an ETH Zürich spin-off and was founded by Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher in November 2009. The two German founders were fellow students during their studies in mechanical engineering, and focused their research on technologies that capture CO2 from ambient air at a laboratory scale. In 2011, Climeworks received its first funding by private investors, which enabled the development of an initial prototype. This was followed by the rapid development of the technology’s modular design and in 2014, the first CO2 module was commissioned. Climeworks has established several key partnerships, such as with car-producer Audi, and received support from the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (Bundesamt für Energie), which enabled the accelerated commercialization and upscaling of the technology. Climeworks is also a member of diverse European research and development projects[6] – these are to do with, among other things, the production of synthetic fuel made from CO2. The company’s goal is to capture one per cent of global annual CO2-emissions by 2025. In order to achieve this, 250,000 facilities like the commercial plant in Hinwil need to be constructed and commissioned. [7] Company structureThe company’s headquarters is located in Oerlikon, Zurich. Climeworks has a subsidiary, Climeworks Deutschland GmbH (Status December 2017). Additional information
