Despite increasingly challenging market conditions, climate tech remains one of the most popular areas of startup investment. The ongoing commitment to this vital area of innovation reflects the accelerating urgency of climate action, following a global rise in extreme weather events and fresh scrutiny on Net Zero ambitions. The complexity and diversity of the climate challenges that need to be addressed is vast, as are the range of solutions being built to help do this. But too often, the true scale and diversity of “climate tech” is overlooked and underestimated.

Across oceans, peatlands, forests and ancient woodlands, our planet quietly sequesters carbon dioxide from the air. Until the eighteenth century, the carbon cycle balanced CO₂ levels in the atmosphere and supported life for over 11,700 years: a period that researchers have named the Holocene.

In Hengill, a volcanic ridge east of Reykjavik, a white steam cloud blurs the outline of a metal power plant. Its four units each contain two metal boxes that whir with fans. These are sucking in the air to trap carbon dioxide, using a sponge-like filter called solid sorbent that binds with the carbon. Once the sponge is saturated, the interior is heated to 100 degrees Celsius, then the carbon is squeezed out and injected deep into an underground basalt rock formation. Within two years, it turns to stone.

A recent poll claimed that Britons spent around 6 months of their life talking about the weather. I’ll withhold comment around whether I’m surprised that the figure isn’t higher, but it’s safe to say 2023’s weather events already provided plenty of talking points.
