Climeworks’ Orca facility in Iceland was designed to suck up 4000 tonnes of CO2 per year using direct air capture from the atmosphere (note: this is different from carbon capture and storage at the point of emission). Technical and weather challenges meant that in 2023 it managed less than 1000 tonnes.

This is the best we can currently do, in the face of the *tens of billions of tonnes* of current of CO2 we emit in a year.
