Our company

We're here to put carbon back where it belongs

Terravault is a team of engineers, geochemists, and climate scientists building the removal infrastructure the next century depends on — and holding ourselves to the evidence.

Terravault facility
Founded in Zurich in 2019. Four facilities today. One mission that hasn't changed.

Getting to net zero isn't only about emitting less. Hundreds of gigatons of legacy CO₂ are already in the air. Someone has to take it back out — permanently, measurably, and at a price the world can afford. That's the work we chose.

Our story

From a lab bench to a fleet

2019

Founded in Zurich

Two process engineers and a geochemist build the first solid-sorbent prototype in a rented university lab.

2021

First pilot online

Facility 01 begins capturing in Iceland, powered by geothermal heat and storing CO₂ in basalt.

2023

First enterprise offtake

Isometric certification lands; a Fortune 100 buyer signs a multi-year removal agreement.

2024

Gen 3 breaks $180 / ton

A modular redesign cuts cost per ton by 71% versus the first generation.

2025

148,200 tons verified

Four facilities operate across three continents, every ton independently verified.

What we believe

Principles we build by

Evidence over vibes

If a ton can't be measured and independently verified, we don't sell it. Our credibility is the product.

Permanence, not paperwork

We store carbon as rock. Not trees that can burn, not credits that can double-count. Removal that stays removed.

Scale is the only mercy

A boutique climate solution isn't a solution. Every design decision is judged against gigaton-scale deployment.

Success so far
