Climeworks, a Zurich-based carbon removal company, announced it has signed 14 new agreements in the first half of 2026 totaling 450,000 tons of carbon dioxide removal. The deals were made through its Climeworks Solutions portfolio service, which includes a mix of technologies like direct air capture, biochar, enhanced rock weathering, and afforestation. Buyers include NTT DATA, Toronto-Dominion Bank, and Tapestry, all companies with over $5 billion in annual revenue. The agreements show growing demand for carbon removal across sectors such as banking, aviation, healthcare, and retail. Climeworks says the portfolio approach helps buyers diversify risk across different removal methods. The company operates two direct air capture plants and is positioning itself as a leader in the high-quality carbon removal market. For those tracking carbon credit markets, this deal signals that large corporate buyers are moving beyond voluntary offsets toward structured, multi-technology removal portfolios. The key question is whether these tons will actually be delivered and verified on the timelines promised.
