Project Mammoth - Climeworks continues successful cooperation with PMS Group

Climeworks, a Swiss firm, filters carbon dioxide (CO2) straight from the air and stores it in the ground. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is a crucial solution for combating climate change while significantly reducing emissions. It captures carbon dioxide directly from the air, reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration using only renewable energy sources. In Iceland, the captured CO2 is safely stored underground for the long term.

PMS Elektro- und Automationstechnik supplied and manufactured control cabinets for the Orca project back in 2021 on behalf of Climeworks.

The new Mammoth plant in Island, set to commence operations in 2024, can extract and store a maximum of 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually from the atmosphere. The project scope is nine times the size of the Orca project.

The scope of work for PMS Elektro- und Automationstechnik involves constructing and testing hundreds of control cabinets as well as pre-assembling thousands of cables on the collector container.

PMS project manager Christoph Pansi on the collaboration: "We are grateful to have the opportunity to work with Climeworks. When working on joint projects, we prioritize open and honest communication. Working on eye level is deeply ingrained in our company's philosophy and guides our interactions with clients and partners alike. In the meantime, Jörg Mochar and I were on a visit to Zurich to meet the employees in charge at Climeworks. There, we discussed important details, gained insight into on-site system production, and strengthened our companies' connection.”

Climeworks is already planning future projects.  We are confident that our excellent collaboration thus far will continue to lead to success in our future endeavours together.
