The $15 million 'direct air capture' (DAC) machine, created by Zurich-based company Climeworks, launched on Wednesday at the Hellisheiði Power Station, Iceland.

Orca based in Iceland is the world's largest direct air capture and storage plant. It uses a filter to extract and permanently remove CO2 from the surrounding air. Orca runs fully on renewable energy from the adjacent geothermal power plant.
