“If you build machines like we are doing, you can do it on much, much less area. So you are about a thousand times more area efficient. So at the same area where you can take one ton out of the air with trees, you could take a thousand tons out of the air with …”

“This industry is set up to scaling up to the million tons per year scale in the next couple of Years towards the end of this decade. So that's what will happen. We are doing that like a handful of other companies are working towards that.”

“Like, based on that, we are now building a 10 times larger plant.”

“Everyone has eight containers, so that ends up then with a total nominal capacity of, ah, 4000 tons of CO₂ per year that can be captured.”

“They have developed this method where they inject the CO₂ in underground porous rocks, where the CO₂ is mineralizing with the rocks, so within two years, the CO₂ is just turned into stone there”

“We've had since beginning over 14,000 customers, and that's increasing”

“Our first Plant we built here in Switzerland, and that is taking, that's still an operation, that is taking CO₂ out of the air to then sell the CO₂ to a greenhouse. They are fertilizing their plants with CO₂, and also to Coca-Cola, who are making sparkling dri…”

“You would need something like 750,000 containers for that, which Is that a large number? It's actually not a large number. It's actually what goes through Shanghai port in two weeks, right? It's like, it's not a lot compared to global economy.”

“And that's the same, what has had to happen in our industry, and I'm sure that will happen over the next two decades to come.”

“Like, in terms of climate effects, that market is totally irrelevant. Like, is that a market? Could you grow a sustainable business on that? Yes, sure. So you, we could have decided just to become a small, medium-sized company developing direct air capture pla…”

“Like to take a ton of CO₂ out of ambient air, you need to filter around two million cubic meters of air.”

“95% of the population Would likely only do this when they are forced to it. And that's eventually to get to billions of tons of CO two removal. We need regulation. We need corresponding legislation. We need governmental procurement programs that might be CO tw…”
