Sustainable Christmas Presents – Two Sides

85kg Of Carbon Dioxide

Your relative may not be too thrilled if you handed over a container full of invisible gas, but their mood may improve when you announce you have removed that amount of carbon from the atmosphere for them. For €85, a Swiss startup will remove and store 85kg of CO₂ using their direct-air carbon capture facility – the largest in the world. At the plant in Iceland, machines take in air and filter out the CO₂, before storing it permanently underground. It may not completely offset their carbon emissions this Christmas, but it’s a good start to 2022.
