Which investments can save the Earth

26.07.2021

Reducing emissions is not enough to save the planet and achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The most efficient and promising way is to invest in technologies for capturing carbon from the atmosphere.

The Swiss company Climeworks is one of the few companies that deal with CO2 filtration. The technology consists of huge modules with dozens of vacuum fans that force air into the plant, where filters trap carbon along with moisture. Then the container is heated to 100 degrees Celsius and pure carbon dioxide is separated – it can either be buried deep underground, or sold, for example, to manufacturers of carbonated drinks.
