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. C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. Iceland is one of several places on Earth offering the ideal conditions for this process.

Due to the high reaction temperatures, a proportion of the water is converted back into hydrogen by the water-gas shift reaction. Both hydrogen production and methanization continuously generate waste heat. Empa researchers see further potential for optimization in the heat required for this CO 2 desorption.
