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
4. 4PUBLIC
• World’s first company supplying
atmospheric CO2 to customers
• Modular CO2 capture plants
• Scale-up via mass production of
CO2 collectors
• Low-temperature heat
(renewable or waste) as main
energy source
• Minimal carbon footprint:
90% net efficiency

MERCHANT MARKET FLAGSHIP
World’s first commercial DAC plant
Plant type: DAC-18
CO2 capacity: 2’460 kg/day
CO2 application: Greenhouse
Heat source: Waste heat
Location: Hinwil,
Switzerland
Commissioned: 31st May 2017
10. 10PUBLIC
MERCHANT MARKET FLAGSHIP
1 CO2 is captured directly
from air using waste heat.
CO2 is delivered to nearby
greenhouse via an underground pipe.

3 The more CO2 is
in the air, the
better vegetables
grow – up to 20%
better!

“Utilizing local CO2 from ambient air
is in line with our standards for
sustainable production and has a
positive effect on the marketing of our
products.”
Fritz Meier, Gebrüder Meier
“By collaborating with Climeworks,
we can utilize additional waste heat
which increases the efficiency of our
plant and reduces CO2 emissions at
the same time.”

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.
