Why do we need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

I’d love to see your pilot plant or Innovation Centre. Can I come for a tour?

At this time, we do not offer tours of our facilities to the public. Please check out this video to learn more about what we do and see our plants in action.

Direct Air Capture Technology
How much CO2 can you capture at your pilot plant?

Our Direct Air Capture pilot plant in Squamish, B.C., was designed and built as a proof of concept and testing facility. When operating, the pilot plant captures one ton of CO2 per day.

How much CO2 will the large, commercial plants that use CE’s technology capture?

Commercial Direct Air Capture plants that utilize our technology can be scaled to size depending on customer needs, however their economics are most favourable at large, industrial scales. The first commercial plant to utilize our technology is expected to capture one million tons of CO2 annually when complete, which is equivalent to the carbon removal work of approximately 40 million trees.

Does CE’s technology capture CO2 from a flue stack?

Capturing CO2 from a flue stack, known as carbon capture, attempts to prevent new emissions from being released into the atmosphere. It is a different, but complementary, technology to our Direct Air Capture solution that captures CO2 straight out of the air around us.

Climate scientists agree that we must aggressively reduce the emissions we release each day, and carbon capture from a flue stack is one of the available solutions to help us achieve this. But, we must also remove excess carbon from the atmosphere that was emitted in the past and remains trapped in our atmosphere. This is where our Direct Air Capture technology can be useful. By capturing CO2 directly from the air in any location, Direct Air Capture technology gives us a tool to achieve large-scale carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere.
