Climeworks is a pioneer in employing direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store the carbon underground. The company has set an ambitious goal of removing 1 gigaton of CO2 per year by 2050. However, given the nascency of the technology, the carbon markets and the policy landscape, it is too early to tell if that is reachable. What should Climeworks do to achieve the greatest environmental impact?
