Svante has officially opened its Redwood Facility in Burnaby, B.C., the world’s first gigafactory dedicated to commercial-scale carbon capture filter production. The 141,000-square-foot site can produce enough filters to capture 10 million tonnes of CO₂ annually—equivalent to emissions from 27 million cars.
Funded by US$145 million, the plant is backed by Chevron, Temasek, GE Vernova, and others. The MOF-coated filters target sectors like pulp and paper, ethanol, and waste-to-energy. CEO Claude Letourneau called Redwood a historic step toward building infrastructure for a global carbon marketplace.
