Climeworks Climeworks got third-party sign-off on its technology for sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky. Carbon removal is a key climate fix because greenhouse-gas emissions aren&#8217;t dropping fast enough. Direct air capture is a nascent industry that still needs government support to scale. The latest climate win came in the form of an audit.
