The Climeworks Orca Plant

The Climeworks Orca Plant, located in Iceland, is a groundbreaking facility that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air. Using large fans, it pulls in air, filters out the CO2, and stores it underground or uses it for products like carbonated beverages. This process, known as direct air capture, aims to help combat climate change by reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Orca is notable for being one of the largest plants of its kind, showcasing innovative technology designed to support global efforts in achieving net-zero emissions and creating a sustainable future.
