Climeworks launches another Direct Air Capture plant in Italy

Swiss-based company Climeworks has launched a further Direct Air Capture plant (DAC-3), this time in Italy. Every year the DAC-3 facility will filter up to 150 tons of CO2 directly from ambient air. The new plant is part of the Horizon 2020 research project STORE&GO, which demonstrates that Power-to-Gas technologies can be used for large-volume energy storage. In addition to the demonstration plant in Italy, further STORE&GO pilots are being realized in Germany and Switzerland.
