Climeworks’ Post

Carbon capture-tech companies Svante (Vancouver) and Climeworks (Switzerland) are set to benefit from approximately $800 million in U.S. government funding. Climeworks, similar to Carbon Engineering, captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere for geological sequestration or industrial use. Svante, based in Vancouver, uses novel filter technology for CO2 capture, applicable to both direct-air and point-source capture from industrial flue stacks. The collaboration signifies a significant step forward in the direct air capture industry, with Svante’s CEO, Claude Letourneau, ICD.D, emphasising their preparedness for the partnership. #CarbonCapture #ClimateTech #Svante #Climeworks #DirectAirCapture #CO2Removal #GreenTechnology #GovernmentFunding #ClimateAction #NetZero

Hundreds of companies are now experimenting with carbon-removal technologies, ranging from direct air capture to peatland restoration. The amount of carbon that technology permanently removes from the atmosphere, however, remains vanishingly small next to the tens of gigatons that humans emit each year. Charm, which often describes itself as an industry leader, has announced the permanent removal of about seven thousand metric tons—about seven-millionths of a gigaton. #carbonremoval #reverseoil #climatetech

📲 In this article, we explore how Climeworks is stripping vast amounts of existing CO₂ from the atmosphere and locking it underground, permanently 🔐. Capital at risk. #InvestInProgress

“The ‘world’s largest’ vacuum to suck #climatepollution out of the air just opened. Here’s how it works” Laura Paddison - Wed May 8, 2024 ““Mammoth” is the second commercial #directaircaptureplant opened by Swiss company Climeworks in the country, and is 10 times bigger than its predecessor, Orca, which started running in 2021.” “#Directaircapture , or #DAC , is a technology designed to suck in air and strip out the #carbon using #chemicals . The carbon can then be injected deep beneath the ground, reused or transformed into solid products.” “Climeworks plans to transport the carbon #underground where it will be naturally transformed into stone, locking up the carbon permanently. It is partnering with Icelandic company Carbfix for this so-called #sequestrationprocess .” “The whole operation will be powered by Iceland’s abundant, clean #geothermalenergy .” https://lnkd.in/eX7j8WFv Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

We're excited to share that Earthview has officially submitted our application to the EPA for approval as a continuous emissions monitoring system. This milestone is a testament to the dedication and efforts of our incredible team. The application has been accepted, and we want to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing team, partners, and customers for their invaluable support in helping us reach this milestone! We look forward to collaborating with the EPA to further promote the adoption of advanced methane monitoring technologies. #Earthview #EPA #MethaneReduction #OilAndGas  #EnvironmentalResponsibility #IndustryPartnership #AirEmissionMonitoring #EnvironmentalMonitoringSystems #NaturalGasLeakDetection #MethaneEmissionMonitoring #MethaneLeakDetection #AssetEmissionEvaluation #GasEmissionsMonitoring #ContinuousEmissionMonitoringSystem

If you haven’t heard of Climeworks yet, NOW is the time to pay attention! The Swiss company was the first to launch commercial-scale, direct air capture and storage (DAC+S). Their existing plants capture thousands of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere and mineralize it, locking it away for over 10,000 years! In March, they announced new U.S. headquarters in Austin, Texas, alongside expansion across New York, California, and Washington, D.C. Why is this great news? 🤔 🎯Thanks to carbon management policies in recent bipartisan legislature, the US is ready to deploy DAC — a huge win for positive climate action!  🎯U.S. businesses are partnering with Climeworks, providing them expertise in safe and permanent geological storage of CO₂. 🎯Apart from the current expansion, thousands of direct jobs could emerge from the Regional DAC Hubs’ project applications by 2030. This move is part of the company’s broader goals of worldwide expansion. Are you bracing for its impact on America’s climate sector – and what new opportunities do you think it’ll unlock? #ClimateAction #CleanTech #Sustainability

On 8th May 2024, the Mammoth plant by Climeworks at #Iceland became the world's largest Direct Air Capture and Storage (DAC+S) plant facility, capable of capturing 36,000 metric tons of #CO2 from the atmosphere annually. The plant is about ten times bigger than its predecessor, Orca, which was designed for a capture capacity of up to 4,000 tons of CO₂ per year. The Mammoth plant uses Geo-thermal energy to power its #directaircapture process, and it is designed to capture CO₂ directly from the air and store it permanently underground, transforming it into stone through a natural process. This development is important as there is urgent need for #climateaction to halve #emissions by 2030. This can only be possible by drastically reducing emissions and removing unavoidable CO₂ emissions from the air. As a part of #NetZero targets taken by companies, the #carbonremoval solutions are essential to remove the carbon emitted (hard to abate) into the atmosphere. Companies are looking forward towards successful operation of such plants to remove carbon dioxide from the air on their behalf. Increasing numbers of Net Zero Targets will further scale-up the carbon removal industry.   Next plant is proposed in Norway, looking forward for more such initiatives. #lowcarbon #actnow #climatemergency #carbon #sustainability #esg #climatefinance #globalwarming #climatechange #dac #aircapture Pic Credit: CNN (A pic of the DAC plant at Iceland)

A growing number of technologies are taking to the skies to remotely detect leaking methane. Meanwhile, analysis frameworks are debuting down on Earth to make sense of the data. As these tools expand, so do their differences. While the technology advances, state and federal regulatory frameworks largely remain the same. This means landfill operators or outside groups may rely on different standards for how to remotely measure emissions or talk about their findings. That could complicate the communication needed to reduce landfill methane through corporate goals or federal programs. #satellite #methane

This article describes very well the state of play in Landfill emissions monitoring, and relates well to the value that BlueSky Resources brings the Waste industry for addressing the challenges of disparate sensor campaigns for methane monitoring and management... https://lnkd.in/gqcjfiWJ BSR's AirLogic platform, along with our emissions forensic services, bring together all relevant sensor, meteorological, optical and landfill gas data to quantify and localize emissions so that effective mitigation actions can be mobilized. Our integrated emission "answers" can be assessed over a timeline, at each landfill site, similar to examples shown here. This is an important step in sensor-type validation and for ultimately comparing or fusing sensor and modeled data to create improved regulatory reporting as compliance requirements tighten.

We’re raising a glass to our friends at Heirloom for ranking among the Top 20 XPRIZE Carbon Removal teams! Bravo! CarbonCure is very proud to provide permanent CO2 storage of Heirloom’s DAC CO2 in concrete materials - in coordination with our concrete industry partners - as part of our ongoing collaboration with Heirloom and for this XPRIZE competition. Announcing the Top 20, XPRIZE noted that these finalists were selected from more than 1,300 teams located in 88 countries. Remarkable! Explore the Top 20: https://lnkd.in/gDjTiPaR This is such an exciting global competition, showcasing the most promising, scalable solutions that can pull carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or oceans, and sequester it durably and sustainably. As noted in Heirloom’s XPRIZE entry, “concrete is an important and immediately-available permanent storage method that allows us to fully validate our end-to-end capture and storage process because only 1 Class VI well is permitted and operationalized today in the U.S.” Learn about our ongoing collaboration with Heirloom here: https://lnkd.in/e9CTAYj7 #Heirloom #XPRIZE #CarbonRemoval #CarbonCure
