Hello, I'd like to make suggestions to improve the quality of this page, starting with the introduction. I want to make sure that the information displayed here is correct and up-to-date. Disclaimer: I work for Climeworks. Here a proposal for a more comprehensive introduction:

Climeworks AG is a Swiss company specializing in direct air capture (DAC) technology. The company filters the CO₂ directly from ambient air through an adsorption-desorption process^[1]. The air-captured CO₂ is either handed over to Climeworks' storage partner Carbfix who injects it deep underground where it mineralizes and turns into stone^[2] or it is upcycled into climate-friendly products, such as carbon-neutral fuels and materials^[3]. Climeworks’ machines run on renewable energy or energy-from-waste and re-emit less than 10% of the carbon dioxide they capture^[4]. The company was founded in 2009 by mechanical engineers Dr. Christoph Gebald and Dr. Jan Wurzbacher who lead the company as co-CEOs. Climeworks has put more than 15 direct air capture plants into operation all over Europe. In Iceland, Climeworks operates the world’s first large-scale direct air capture and storage plant "Orca" to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the air^[5]. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon removal technologies are necessary to mitigate climate change. Its modelled pathways that limit global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot require up to 310 billion tons of direct air capture and storage by 2100^[6].
