To restrain global warming, we know we need to drastically reduce pollution. The very next step after that: using both natural and technological solutions to trap as much excess carbon dioxide from the air as possible. Enter Orca, the world's first large-scale direct air capture and storage plant, built in Iceland by the team at Climeworks, led by climate entrepreneur Jan Wurzbacher. This plant is capable of removing 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. With affordability and scalability in mind, Wurzbacher shares his vision for what comes after Orca, the future of carbon removal tech -- and why these innovations are crucial to stop climate change.

Orca, the world's inaugural commercial direct air capture plant in Iceland, sets a pioneering stride against global warming.

Extracting CO2 from the air, Orca exemplifies a blend of ambition and technology, aiming to scale from thousands to millions of tons.

Mammoth, nine times larger than Orca, symbolizes the next leap in carbon capture, promising a significant impact by end of 2023.
