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 4,000 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.
scale in a very short time. our focus is showing the world we can remove c02 from the atmosphere with a reasonable cost that can be improved in time. , ,., cost that can be improved in time. , , ., time. there is some cause for optimism time. there is some cause for optimism toe time. there is some cause for optimism too. this time. there is some cause for optimism too. this is - time. there is some cause for optimism too. this is one - time. there is some cause for optimism too. this is one of l optimism too. this is one of the first collectors and it takes out about 60 tons a year. of c02 from the atmosphere. of c02 from the atmosphere. now, next year, the company says they can registrable that efficiency, 200 tons a year, and that bodes well for 2050. by and that bodes well for 2050. by getting this capture planned to run on waste energy, its own carbon footprint is about 10-15% of carbon footprint is about 10 15% of what it is capable of removing over its lifetime. and climew
