Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

The Swiss company Climeworks is building the world’s largest direct air capture (DAC) and storage facility for converting atmospheric CO 2 to rock in Iceland. The facility will filter 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air and mineralize it underground. The carbon dioxide is thus permanently removed from the atmosphere.
