that is astonishing. nature in these islands can be extraordinary. it rivals anything i ve seen elsewhere. it s not far. it s home. at 96 years old, sir david attenborough is back on location, to bring you the british isles as you have never seen them before. scenes like this. 0rca killer whales hunting a baby seal off the coast of scotland. their strategy is one of surprise. these programmes cost the same as a major international wildlife series, and the sequences they capture are as spectacular as anything you could see anywhere on earth. the 0rca takes its catch out into open water, and there shows younger members of the pod how to drown it.
is about 10 15% of what it s capable of removing over its lifetime. and climeworks biggest project to date, 0rca, has just kicked into life last month in iceland. it captures 4000 tons of c02 each year. the company sells the permanent removal of co2 by weight. even individuals can buy in. but in reality, it s mainly companies wanting to go green with a better environmental record. at the time we decided to build 0rca, we did not have the certainty from the market because it simply was not existing. so it was a huge risk taking for us but already today, a large share of that capacity is contracted, and we are very thankful and happy that this happened and that, actually, fuels and motivate us to get going and actually already work on the scale up of the next plan. on a larger scale, companies such as carbon engineering

our focus is showing the world we can remove c02 from the atmosphere with a reasonable cost that can be improved in time. there s some cause for optimism too. this is one of the first collectors and it takes out about 60 tons a year of c02 from the atmosphere. now, next year, the company say they can reach triple that efficiency 200 tons a year and that bodes well for 2050. by getting this capture plant to run on waste energy, its own carbon footprint is about 10 15% of what it s capable of removing over its lifetime. and climeworks biggest project to date, 0rca, has just kicked into life last month in iceland. it captures 4000 tons of c02 each year. the company sells the permanent removal of co2 by weight. even individuals can buy in. but in reality, it s mainly companies wanting to go green with a better environmental record.
