Removr develops industrial-scale solutions for removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it permanently in the geosphere.
Our ambition is to become a global leader in carbon removal, leveraging our innovative, efficient and sustainable technology platform and strong industry support.
It is widely accepted that climate goals will not be met without carbon removal being deployed at scale. Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere for permanent storage and thereby generate negative emissions which can be sold as durable carbon dioxide removal credits (CDR).
Such credits are bought by companies with net zero ambitions and either high CO2 abatement costs or significant indirect emissions. As more companies commit to net zero targets, the demand for CDR credits are expected to accelerate. Removr will offer CDRs of the highest quality, with the lowest footprint and the highest durability.
Innovator of large-scale carbon removal technology focused on industrial-scale DAC deployment without the use of water, fossil fuels, chemicals, critical minerals, external heat or material handling.
Fully funded portfolio of projects to validate the technology for DAC and low CO2 concentration streams.
Ambition to launch the first large-scale DAC plants in North America from 2030 and onwards.
Team with industrial scaling track record and expertise across the DAC value chain. Partners in the technology development include research institutions (SINTEF, TNO and IFEU), leading universities and global corporates.

Technology based on highly stable, non-toxic solid sorbent material for CO2 capture: zeolites. The innovative and efficient technology has been developed in the Nordics, utilizing repurposed, existing processes from heavy industry. The process offers unique sustainability benefits and enables highly scalable, automated carbon removal designed to operate entirely on renewable electricity with the potential flexibility to also manage low concentration point source emissions.
Sustainable: Removr’s DAC process requires no water, fossil fuels, chemicals, critical minerals, external heat, or material handling
Efficient: Can be run on 100% renewable energy, leveraging the world’s most efficient and commercially available adsorbent, zeolite
Scalable: Can be deployed at industrial scale, improving material efficiency, with high siting flexibility
Versatile: Potential of capturing low-concentration point source emissions from the aluminum- and glass industry
With headquarters and pilots in Norway, pilots in the Netherlands and Spain and a 50,000 industrial scale DAC plant being developed with partners for North America, Removr is ideally located in two of the world’s leading carbon removal industry clusters.
Norway has a long track-record for developing carbon capture and removal technology. With CO2 taxes going back to 1990, the industry has been incentiviced to develop carbon capture technologies for decades. Norway is also the home for the world`s first commercial storage hub, Northern Lights. This value chain for carbon removal has made the Nordic countries into the largest region for sale of carbon removal credits with 40% of the global sale. The strong industry cluster for carbon capture and storage technology makes Norway to an ideal spot for developing the next generation of direct air capture technologies.
Norway also have strong industry-ties to the US and Canada, two of the most attractive locations for large-scale DAC deployment. Removr develop DAC hubs in Canada and the US, including the Ankeron Carbon Management Hub in Washington State, where Removr is a participant through a federal grant as part of a consortium of leading carbon removal companies covering the full value chain.
The Removr team combines deep expertise on adsorption technology, industrial experience, and track-record from rapid scaling and capitalization of green industry projects.
