The world's first commercial gigafactory for filters to capture and remove CO₂ from the air

In the race for carbon reduction, a new weighty ally literally gained, the first gigafactory in the world dedicated exclusively to the production of filters to capture CO2 on an industrial scale was inaugurated, located in Canada, Redwood from the company Svante Technologies is capable of producing filters that remove up to 10 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, the equivalent of the emissions of more than 27 million cars driving on the streets.

Svante Technologies' technology uses structured solid sorbent filters coated with metal-organic structures called MOVS. These materials capture CO2 directly from the air or from industrial chimneys even in high concentrations. The gigafactory has 13,000 m² and was designed to produce these filters on a massive scale, with automation and standardization of processes, reducing costs and facilitating industrial adoption.

The target sectors of the technology include paper and pulp ethanol waste-to-energy conversion and heavy industries such as cement steel and fossil fuels, with the total capacity of Redwood Svante Technologies will be able to neutralize the impact of millions of vehicles or offset industrial emissions and the differential is that the filters can be applied directly to emission sources such as chimneys and furnaces, without the need to redesign the entire existing industrial structure.

Producing the filters locally in Canada is not just a matter of logistics, it is a strategy, Svante Technologies aims to reduce dependence on global chains and accelerate the delivery of solutions for emitting industries in North America, but the plan goes much further, the company wants to build multiple gigafactories like this around the world over the next decade.

With the inauguration of Redwood Svante Technologies takes a bold step towards a future where capturing CO2 is as common as emitting it, it is the beginning of a new phase, not only reducing emissions but actively removing what we already release into the atmosphere.
