Climeworks is a Zurich-based company that was spun out of ETH Zurich by the two founders, Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher, in 2009. Our products are based on a novel process and filter material that were developed in collaboration with ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa). We aim at commercial demonstration of atmospheric CO2 capture technology by 2015. Climeworks would like to thank Venture Kick, GEBERT RÜF STIFTUNG, de Vigier Stiftung and ClimateKIC for their kind support through start-up financing.
