We envision a sustainable and carbon-neutral world by mitigating the effects of climate change through carbon removal. To do so, we iteratively develop carbon removal technologies and store carbon dioxide as dry ice for decades. Over the next year, we aim to finish development and construction of our first pilot plant, which is set out to remove 20 tonnes of CO2 out of the atmosphere per year.
We reduce the atmospheric levels of CO2 (0.04%) by directly removing it from earth's atmosphere („Direct Air Capture“) and storing it as dry ice for long periods of time.
This is a necessary step to reach international climate goals of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C.
We are a student initiative and non-profit organisation from the Technical University of Munich.
The award supports environmental and climate-promoting initiatives so that they can increase their positive impact. In this way, Zurich Germany would like to make an active contribution to protecting our planet in the best possible way for the future.
