The company is pivoting from selling CO2 to make fizzy beverages to storing the greenhouse gas permanently underground by Justine Calma a podcast from Vox Media and Audible Originals.Swiss company Climeworks plans to phase out the first-generation technology that made it a pioneer in the business of carbon removal The move is part of Climeworks’ pivot away from selling its captured carbon dioxide to companies like Coca-Cola Climeworks says it will focus on efforts to store the CO2 underground permanently Climeworks became the first company to suck carbon dioxide out of the air and sell it as a product back in 2017 That’s when its direct air capture (DAC) plant called Capricorn opened in Hinwil Beyond being foundational to Climeworks’ continued growth Capricorn’s mere existence was a major milestone for the brand-new carbon removal industry Capricorn is essentially outdated climate tech Capricorn’s mere existence was a major milestone for the brand-new carbon removal industry Climeworks announced that it has “complete[d] the commercial operation phase of its DAC facility in Hinwil leading to the phase-out of its first generation technology.” In other words Climeworks press manager Judith Hebekeuser confirmed with The Verge in an email Climeworks made clear in its announcement that it now prioritizes “scaling its permanent carbon dioxide removal.” And Capricorn just wasn’t built to permanently remove the planet-heating gas from the atmosphere It started off supplying CO2 to a greenhouse nearby that used it to help grow vegetables Then Coca-Cola HBC Switzerland came along in 2019 and started buying the CO2 to carbonate mineral water That was the first time that direct air capture technology was used in the beverage industry Capricorn showed the world that the technology to capture CO2 directly from the air could work at a commercial scale The challenge is that popping bottles of seltzer will eventually release that CO2 back into the air. And Capricorn, which started off as a demonstration project, was not capturing very much CO2. To really make a dent in climate change, massive amounts of carbon dioxide need to be drawn down and permanently stored Update Oct. 21st, 5:10pm ET: This post has been updated with an email from Climeworks. A weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe. New Climeworks plant in Hinwil (Canton of Zurich Switzerland) has the capacity to capture 900 tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere per year The captured CO₂ will be sold to a greenhouse to enhance the growth of vegetables and lettuce by up to 20 percent Project partners are Gebrüder Meier Primanatura AG KEZO and Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) Today the direct air capture company Climeworks announced to construct and operate an industrial-scale direct air capture plant, which will sell atmospheric CO₂ to a customer for the first time worldwide. The plant, dubbed Capricorn will be operational by mid-2016 and annually capture 900 tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere enhancing the growth of vegetables and lettuce in a nearby greenhouse of Gebrüder Meier Primanatura AG by up to 20 percent Another goal is to determine the plants’ operational costs which is currently controversially discussed in the research community This is an important finding in order to define business models for implementing the technology internationally The plant will be installed at the waste incineration facility of KEZO which is subsequently powering the DAC plant with heat and electricity The high purity CO₂ product is then delivered to a neighboring greenhouse operated by the Gebrüder Meier Primanatura AG The gas is injected into the greenhouse atmosphere in order to enhance the growth of vegetables and lettuce by up to 20 percent.The project is a crucial milestone in supporting Climeworks’ vision to close the carbon cycle due to the fact that it allows a technology transfer from a novel technology originally developed at ETH Zurich and EMPA for industrial application it will deliver reliable mass and energy balances as well as economic data as basis for further Climeworks systems on industrial scale Based on the results of this project Climeworks’ product will be further industrialized to eventually supply air captured CO₂ to Power-to-Gas / Power-to-Liquids technologies to efficiently store renewable electricity by producing synthetic fuels water and renewable electricity are carbon-neutral and not in competition with food production for agriculture.Climeworks’ technology enables a closed carbon cycle where CO₂ emitted from any source or even the past can be captured and re-used for the production of carbon-neutral fuels In the short-term Climeworks’ technology shall be used to supply CO₂ for beverage companies currently receiving its CO₂ majorly as waste product from industry in turn stemming from the combustion of fossil fuels.The Climeworks CO₂ capture technology is based on a cyclic capture / regeneration process and a novel filter atmospheric CO₂ is chemically bound to the surface of the filter the CO₂ is released by heating it to a temperature of about 100°Celsius (212°F) thereby delivering high-purity gaseous CO₂ The CO₂-free filter can be re-used for numerous capture /regeneration cycles Climeworks is the leading partner within the project and responsible for design construction and operation of the DAC plant Climeworks was founded at the end of 2009 as a spin-off company of ETH Zurich and has since then developed its proprietary technology from laboratory to industrial scale In late 2014 Climeworks announced the commissioning of an industrial scale CO₂ capture unit – called ‘CO₂ Kollektor’ – with a capacity of capturing 50 tons CO₂ per year Since then the CO₂ Kollektor has proven to operate successfully thus standing for the final developmental step of Climeworks’ technology Commercial plants will be built from units of the same size in a modular way to meet the customers’ individual requirements Zweckverband Kehrichtverwertung Zürcher Oberland (KEZO) is a municipal waste disposal company and supplies the energy required to operate the DAC plant Almost 90 percent of the energy demand can be supplied in the form of process heat Gebrüder Meier Primanatura AG is the CO₂ customer The air captured CO₂ is sold to the greenhouse operator and is then used for maintaining sufficiently high CO₂ levels in the greenhouse to enhance the growth of vegetables and lettuce Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) supports the project within the framework of its pilot and demonstration program FRIDAY DEBRIEF: Can Mercedes pose a threat to McLaren after Antonelli’s magical Miami lap What

atmosphere to supply to greenhouse Historic moment for negative emissions technology deemed crucial to stay below two degrees of global warming Climeworks wants to inspire 1 billion people to remove carbon dioxide from the air Today Climeworks has launched the world’s first commercial direct air capture plant in Hinwil which removes up to 900 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere per year The air-captured CO₂ is supplied to a nearby greenhouse to help grow vegetables The plant is a historic step for negative emissions technology – earmarked by the Paris Agreement as being vital in the quest to limit a global temperature rise of 2 °C Founded by engineers Climeworks developed its technology to capture atmospheric CO₂ with a filter using mainly low-grade heat as an energy source In Hinwil the direct air capture plant has been installed on the roof of a waste recovery facility – operated by the municipal administration union KEZO – with its waste heat powering the Climeworks plant CO₂ is drawn into the collectors and captured on a highly selective filter material the collectors are closed and the temperature is increased to around 100 °C air-captured CO₂ can then be sold to customers in key markets the energy sector and the automotive industry Climeworks provides a continuous supply of CO₂ through an underground pipeline to a greenhouse 400m away to assist with growing vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers Climeworks has ensured the Hinwil operation is the world’s first direct air capture plant with a commercial customer – an important step for the
