Swiss company Climeworks has recently secured a whopping USD 162 million in funding to further develop and scale up their groundbreaking technology. The company specializes in carbon dioxide removal, a crucial technology in the fight against climate change.
Climeworks’ technology involves capturing CO2 directly from the air and then storing it underground or using it for various applications such as producing synthetic fuels or enhancing greenhouse crops. This process not only helps reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere but also has the potential to create a circular carbon economy.
With this new investment, Climeworks aims to expand its operations and increase its capacity to capture more CO2. The company is already a leader in the field of carbon removal, with several successful projects around the world, including partnerships with major corporations and governments.
The funding round was led by a group of investors who are committed to supporting innovative solutions to combat climate change. This significant financial backing is a testament to the growing importance of carbon removal technologies in the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

He stated, “We are thrilled to have the backing of such a strong group of investors who share our vision of a world where CO2 removal is an essential tool in the fight against climate change.”
As the world continues to grapple with the effects of climate change, innovative technologies like Climeworks’ carbon removal process will play a crucial role in creating a more sustainable future. This latest funding round marks a significant milestone for the company and paves the way for further advancements in the field of carbon capture and storage.
