We love to see bipartisan support for carbon removal!   "Climeworks commends U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and Lisa Murkowski for their leadership on the Carbon Dioxide Removal Investment Act. Last year, Climeworks was honored to host the Senators as part of a bipartisan delegation to our direct air capture facilities in Iceland. The CDR Investment Act would drive even more investment in the US to deploy the next generation of CDR projects and supercharge American leadership in carbon management," said Andrew Fishbein, Climeworks’ Lead Government Affairs North America. https://lnkd.in/g7qXnWHw

At COP29 Azerbaijan, our Director of Policy & Government Affairs, Louise Matthias, moderated an inspiring panel to explore how global carbon credit markets can accelerate climate progress. The session, “Incentivizing Climate Action: How a Global Trading Mechanism Will Help Countries Reach NDCs Faster and Fairer,” showcased that it's about taking action, learning as we go, adapting, and evolving as the sector grows. Louise emphasized that "getting carbon markets to function correctly is vital, as carbon credits are essential to scaling both the business and the industry." Thank you to the Nordic Council of Ministers and Nordic Council for hosting this vital discussion at the Nordic Pavilion.

Today, we celebrate 15 years of Climeworks!   And what a journey we've been on throughout these past years:   From first tests in the lab to operating the two largest Direct Air Capture and Storage plants in the world; From developing prototypes in Zurich to establishing one of the first megaton Direct Air Capture Hubs in the U.S.; From a start-up to more than USD 800 million in equity raised in total;    From two PhD students, Jan Wurzbacher and Christoph Gebald, to a global team of over 500 Climeworkers;   From vision and ambition to reality.   Thank you for shaping a net-zero future together with us!   #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #Climeworks #NetZero

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) takes a leap forward in supporting aviation to reach #NetZero, leveraging permanent #CarbonRemoval (CDR) alongside deep emission reductions.   ICAO has now approved standard bodies with permanent #CDR  methodologies under its Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) framework for Phase 1 (2024-2026), paving the way for airlines to utilize permanent CDR credits for their CORSIA compliance.   This development is critical for an industry where IATA, the international organization that represents and leads the airline industry, estimates up to 500Mt CO2[1] of CDR will be needed to reach #NetZero in 2050.   As a founding partner to the CCS+ initiative developing methodologies towards Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), we are delighted to see the DAC+S methodology[2] gaining eligibility under CORSIA.   At Climeworks we look forward to continuing our work with airlines to contribute to a critical part of their net-zero pathway. #ClimateAction #Innovation [1] https://lnkd.in/eDJ_3KTW [2] https://lnkd.in/en2E8iNU

We had the pleasure of welcoming the next generation to Climeworks for a special, hands-on experience in carbon removal. The kids were excited to get a sneak peek into what their parents do every day to remove carbon and help protect our planet. The day was packed with actions including lab-like experiments and real-world applications of sustainable mechanical engineering at our mid-scale testing facilities. It was a day full of learning, laughter, and discovery for the next generation! #NationalerZukunftstag #ClimateAction #DirectAirCapture #NetZero  

Exciting news: Climeworks' own Louise Matthias, Director of Policy & Government Affairs, will be moderating a panel at COP29 in Azerbaijan. Join her at the Nordic Pavilion on November 16th, 9:00 - 9:45, for a deep dive into how global carbon trading mechanisms can accelerate #ClimateAction and support countries in reaching their Nationally Determined Contributions. #COP29 #CarbonRemoval #CarbonMarkets #Article6
