Abstract
Climeworks has opened what it calls the world’s largest direct air carbon dioxide capture and storage plant. The facility, in Orca, Iceland, is powered by geothermal energy; the captured CO 2 will be mineralized over 2 years using an aqueous underground process from the start-up Carbfix. In addition to sequestering 4,000 metric tons of CO 2 per year, the facility is an early test of Climework’s platform. The plant uses a series of sorbent-containing units the size of shipping containers, a design approach that allowed the Orca site to be built and commissioned in just 15 months.
