“Removr is experiencing strong industry backing for its planned direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) projects in Europe and North America. Being selected for the co-creator program by COWI, a company with a century-long history and an extensive track record of successfully executing major projects around the globe, is a recognition of Removr’s market opportunity, technological maturity, and execution capabilities,” said Einar Tyssen, CEO of Removr.
According to Senior Innovation Director in COWI, Charlotte Søgaard, Removr has stood out as a pioneer with an exciting technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. COWI has also recently acquired Mannvit, a leading consulting engineering company in Iceland with 280 employees and a stronghold in green energy. That positions the company well to support Removr with engineering and project execution capabilities in Iceland and identify relevant synergies.
