Construction began in 2022 on “Mammoth”, a new Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant in Iceland, that when completed will extract 36,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) a year from the atmosphere and bury it deep underground.
Switzerland’s Climeworks uses fans to draw air in so CO₂ can be collected by filters. When full, the filters are heated to 100°C, releasing the CO₂ which is then mixed with water and piped to an injection site.
