The alarming surge in global population poses a multifaceted threat to the environment. Rapid population growth leads to the overconsumption of natural resources, deforestation, and the destruction of ecosystems. This population explosion not only exacerbates poverty and economic challenges but also puts immense pressure on the environment, causing irreversible damage to vital elements like water, air, and trees.
In the ongoing global effort to scale up carbon storage, Climeworks has emerged as a frontrunner with its innovative facilities in Iceland and Scotland, namely the groundbreaking Orca plant and a collaborative project with Storegga Geotechnologies. As the world grapples with the persistent rise in carbon dioxide levels, the imperative to remove substantial amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere has become a critical tool in the battle against climate change. Climeworks, a Swiss firm, is at the forefront of ambitious carbon removal projects that employ pioneering technology to accelerate large-scale carbon extraction and storage.
