Climeworks' Journey

Climeworks, founded during PhD studies, initially relied on small-scale investments before making strides in direct air capture technology. The launch of Orca marked a significant milestone, showcasing a capacity of 4,000 tons and attracting major institutional investors with a groundbreaking $650 million raise in 2022. This funding not only solidified Climeworks' position in the climate tech space but also highlighted the growing interest in sustainable solutions.
