Can massive machines pull enough carbon from the air to stop climate change?
In short: As we work to reduce pollution, we must also find ways to trap excess carbon dioxide. This video explores the technology behind Orca, the first large-scale plant designed to capture and store carbon directly from the atmosphere.
Led by entrepreneur Jan Wurzbacher, the Climeworks team has developed Orca in Iceland to address the urgent need for carbon removal. This facility represents a major step in using technological solutions to mitigate global warming. Currently, the plant is capable of extracting 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the air annually, serving as a blueprint for future scalable innovations.
