OEA x Climeworks Fireside Chat on Carbon Removal to Achieve Net Zero Globally and in Asia

The climate emergency is the most pressing threat to the planet and humanity today. Over the next decade, we a reset to see the cascading impacts of global heating, from sea level rise to increasingly frequent and unpredictable climate disasters and extreme weather events.

One company making major advancements in carbon capture is Climeworks. The firm, based in Switzerland, offers carbon removal as a service. They go one step further in the carbon capture pipeline by offering direct air capture.

We had an inspiring conversation with Climeworks co-founder and co-CEO Dr.Christoph Gebald, who shared his amazing journey, from how he managed to convince his first clients to Climeworks’ recent breakthroughs, as well as the wider role that these climate technologies play in our race to net-zero.

In Asia, carbon removal has yet to reach mainstream awareness and investment. The urgency of our ecological crisis will require collaboration and innovations of all kinds. We will continue to bring together leaders from all industries to accelerate strategic partnerships and impact.
