Switzerland-based Climeworks, a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH), recently launched the world’s first commercial plant that captures atmospheric CO 2 for supply and sale to a customer. The plant is now supplying 900 tonnes of CO 2 annually to a nearby greenhouse to help grow vegetables.

As reported in Waste Management , instead of using acid extractants to dissolve the REs trapped in the spent lamps, the Kanazawa team turned to chelator chemistry. Rare-earths (REs) are key components for the transition to a greener energy profile and low carbon society. These are already used to remove toxic metals from solid waste.
