The combination of our advanced technologies represents a significant step forward in the nascent direct air capture industry, playing a critical role in meeting the world\u2019s net-zero ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Svante is in the final stages of building its commercial filter manufacturing facility, The Centre of Excellence for Carbon Capture and Removal, in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Centre is equipped to supply both the industrial point source post-combustion carbon capture market and the direct air capture market. Svante has anticipated and prepared for the event where the agreement with Climeworks takes up a significant portion of the Centre\u2019s capacity and has secured additional coating capacity with its partner, 3M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best-in-class technology for Climeworks\u2019 large-scale direct air capture projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the extended collaboration, Climeworks secures best-in-class technology supporting its scale-up journey. A crucial part of the direct air capture process involves filter material trapping CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;from the ambient air, and Svante\u2019s filter technology will further enhance the performance of the carbon dioxide capturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe are focusing on the massive growth of our carbon removal technology to create climate impact,\u201d says Jan Wurzbacher, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Climeworks.
