Climeworks is setting up Canadian HQ in Calgary, with plans for a large-scale DAC facility in Alberta. Smart pick — the geology supports CO₂ storage and Canada is still funding DAC.
CDI portfolio company. We invested early because they proved commercial DAC works at scale.

Climeworks picks Calgary for its Canadian HQ and plans a large-scale DAC facility in Alberta. Smart move: abundant clean energy + deep geological storage make Alberta ideal for direct air capture at scale.
CDI portfolio company — we wrote about why they're one to watch:

Climeworks is a CDI portfolio company — we've watched them scale from a rooftop in Hinwil to Mammoth in Iceland, the world's largest DAC plant.
DAC costs are dropping fast. ~$600/ton now, targeting under $300 by 2030. The physics works. Now it's an engineering and scale challenge.

Climeworks just opened a new HQ in Calgary, Alberta 🇨🇦
Why it matters: They're setting up cold-weather DAC testing — building on Iceland experience to prove the tech works in harsh Canadian winters.
Commercial plant ambitions to follow. DAC is going global. 🌍

Ziel sei es… 🤨
Fakt ist, Synhelion «plant» eine Inbetriebnahme einer Anlage 2025/2026 in Spanien, 2027 soll dann tatsächlich solar erzeugter Treibstoff fliessen. 😬
Hoffen wir es und sonst erinnern wir uns an #Climeworks 🤷♂️Sc

Lu ce matin dans Le Monde : Climeworks, l'une des premières et plus importantes startup ayant pour but de retirer du dioxyde de carbone dans l'atmosphère, reconnaît ne pas parvenir à compenser ses propres émissions, et viser la neutralité carbone en 2030. 🤦♂️
Le plus écologique est d'arrêter immédiatement les frais et de retourner à la recherche fondamentale ! (et bien sûr, d'émettre moins...)
La start-up Climeworks se proposait de piéger le CO₂. Vite valorisée à 1 milliard de dollars, elle a été imitée par bien d’autres. Cette technologie n’a pas tenu ses promesses, et, aujourd’hui, beaucoup d’entreprises et de particuliers pourraient s’estimer floués, observe Jean-Baptiste Fressoz dans sa chronique.
Microsoft und andere Tech-Unternehmen wollen ihren nominellen CO₂-Ausstoß senken, indem sie Verträge mit Climeworks abgeschlossen haben. Doch der Anbieter von CO₂-Abscheidung schafft es nicht einmal, seine eigenen Emissionen zu kompensieren.
“Direct capture is a scam, carbon capture is a scam, blue hydrogen is a scam, and electrofuel is a scam. These are all scam technologies that do nothing for the climate or air pollution,” says a professor of civil and environmental engineering.

The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – which have grown rapidly in recent years.
