An investment in the future

To achieve net-zero by 2050, effective solutions for CO2 removal are essential. With a carbon efficiency of around 90%, Recoal’s innovative technology can make a crucial contribution. Your climate investment helps us amplify our impact.

Reduce first, then remove

Climate research is clear: by 2050, global greenhouse gas emissions must be drastically reduced, supplemented by technologies that actively remove hard-to-avoid CO2 emissions. Only then can global warming be limited to 1.5°C. 

Recoal has developed a secure process that removes CO2 from the atmosphere, enabling long-term geological storage. The raw material for this carbonisation process is readily available waste biomass.

Our goal is to remove one million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2031, making a meaningful contribution to net-zero..

Become part of Recoal

We have set an ambitious goal because, for us, net zero is not an option – it’s a requirement for a livable future for coming generations. That’s why we’re acting now and taking responsibility.

Yet, we can only advance the fight against climate change alongside like-minded partners. By making a climate investment, you participate in Recoal’s next entrepreneurial steps, which are essential for scaling CO2 removal and storage across Switzerland and Europe.

A rapidly growing sector

An investment isn’t only valuable for its impact. The carbon dioxide removal market is expanding rapidly. According to projections by the Boston Consulting Group, the market will break the billion-pound mark by 2030, and could become as significant and lucrative as today’s oil and gas industry.

Innovative CO2 removal and storage

Recoal has the potential to make a significant contribution to global CO2 removal. This potential has been confirmed by scientific feasibility studies. Here’s how our technology stands out.
  • Long-term – Recoal mimics the natural formation process of coal deposits through the production and storage of carbonised material. What is currently extracted from centuries-old coal mines is the result of a natural carbonisation process. Recoal harnesses this process, enabling the permanent storage of large quantities of CO2. However, since the storage occurs below the top, biologically active layer of soil, it does not serve as a soil improvement measure.
  • Local – Moist waste biomass is abundantly available worldwide, presenting significant potential for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The easy availability of waste biomass allows for local raw material sourcing and short transport distances.
  • Efficient – Feasibility studies from ZHAW, ETH Zurich, TU Delft, DMT GmbH, and Holinger AG demonstrate that Recoal’s method achieves a unique industry efficiency. With a carbon efficiency of around 90%, Recoal stands out significantly compared to other CDR methods.
  • Scalable – Recoal’s CO2 removal and storage process incorporates the key factors for scalability: it is safe, locally applicable, efficient, and straightforward in terms of raw material procurement—and it can deliver a decisive impact due to its high efficiency.
  • Swiss Standards – As a Swiss-based start-up, Recoal adheres to Swiss and European environmental standards in the industry. The carbonisation process and the storage of the carbonised material are regularly tested for pollutants and closely monitored.

Step by step to net-zero

We are convinced that net-zero by 2050 is possible. Founded in 2023, we are on a mission to remove one million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2031, contributing to a livable planet for future generations.
