The advice of the Dutch Scientific Climate Council is clear: The Netherlands needs to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Although this news is not surprising to us, it is a very strong message to our society and government. Direct Air Capture is one of the few solutions that can capture CO2 from the atmosphere to be permanently stored. Our CEO Hans De Neve explained to RTL Nieuws how Carbyon can contribute to this challenge: "We are currently in the extra time to reverse climate change, but we can still score. Carbyon's technology can help to remove CO2 and stop emitting CO2." The interview will be broadcast at 19.30 at RTL4.

We continue on welcoming new Carbyoneers! Yesterday the team has warmly welcomed our newest team member. We’re grateful that he has chosen to bring his talent and energy to our mission 🌍. Say hi to: ⚙ Nikola Petrov, our industrial automation & control engineer Welcome to #teamearth, Nikola!
