Swiss carbon removal firm Climeworks is establishing its Canadian headquarters in Calgary at the Energy Transition Centre. The company plans to test direct air capture technology in cold-weather conditions, with a mobile facility expected to begin operating in fall 2026 before a larger commercial plant. Employees are already working from the hub, with local hiring planned.
Climeworks cited Alberta’s carbon management expertise, infrastructure, and regulatory environment as key reasons for choosing Calgary. Industry groups say the move reinforces the province’s role in carbon removal deployment and commercialization. The expansion adds momentum to Canada’s growing carbon removal sector and its economic potential.
