Scaling carbon removal to reverse global warming

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.

Why DAC

It is widely accepted that climate goals will not be met without carbon removal being deployedat 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 accelerated in 2023 with prices for the highest quality ranging from USD 700-1,7001 per ton of CO2. Removr will offer CDRs of the highest quality, with the lowest footprint and the highest durability.‍

Technology

The zeolite-based technology used by Removr is currently deployed in a fourth operational DAC pilot, a 50-ton-per-year facility developed by technology partner GreenCap Solutions near Stavanger, Norway. 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 stranded, low-concentration point source emissions

Location

With headquarters, an operating facility and a demonstrator in Norway – and a 50,000 industrial scale DAC plant being developed with partners in Iceland – 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. Iceland is home of the world’s largest DAC plant and offer unique opportunities for scaling direct air capture due to availability of clean power and permanent storage.

At megaton scale, Removr intends to leverage the US’ growing developments of clean power resources and strong government incentives. The incentives include tax credits of USD 180 per ton of CO2 stored and regional support programs for DAC hubs, 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.

Team

The Removr team combines deep expertise on adsorption technology, industrial experience, and track-record from rapid scaling and capitalization of green industry projects.
