Gasworld: Climeworks to hold opening ceremony for world’s first commercial DAC plant
„The company will hold a grand opening in Hinwil near Zürich, Switzerland, on 31st May, to officially signify the occasion, where special guest speaker Julio Friedmann, a US expert in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, will talk about DAC and the pressing need for negative emission technologies.“
San Diego Union-Tribune: Warming up to new solutions? Our world is in need of fixes
„While the world debates commitments to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases (mitigation), staying below a 2 degree Celsius increase in temperature has become unlikely. There could come a time when mankind considers “geoengineering” to intentionally cool the planet and try to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.“ By Jane C. Long
Heinrich Böll Stiftung: Climate geoengineering – Experimenting with the global thermostat
„Can and should the global climate be regulated by technological means, the so called geoengineering? In our first episode of our podcast „Tipping point“ our host took off to hear from experts what these approaches mean for the planet’s environment and society.“

Interviews also with NGOs. „“So here the question comes around in a different way,” he said. “Can we design a system that will be good for everybody; or, if it is not good for everybody, what can we do about that? These are the kind of governance challenges that our initiative is going to try to address.”“
