in fact, you could put it in some of the cleanest parts of the world. i ve come to switzerland to, look at an exciting and relatively new way to clean up the planet s atmosphere, and it is being pioneered right here. climeworks is one of the companies hoping the answer to the great carbon clean up is in the thin air around us. these huge intake fans called collectors are sucking in the air from around them and they are taking out the c02, and because c02 is around us everywhere, you can place these, well, pretty much anywhere on the planet they can be cleaning up the environment. natalie casas leads the team here. she moved from carbon capture to direct air capture after seeing expensive projects scrapped because of their cost. so we have a 2 stage process.
