Mammut has partnered with world renowned climber Adam Ondra to support an innovative project focused on the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) and its storage in concrete. The “Do Our Best, Remove the Rest” initiative aims to halve the company’s emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050.
The project comes in partnership with Danish tech start-up Klimate. The Copenhagen ARC captures up to 4 tons of CO2 daily from the waste-to-energy plant’s flue gas. That CO2 is liquified and transported to Finland, where it’s integrated into Carbonaide‘s concrete production process. In this case, Mammut is acting as a buyer, committing to decarbonizing a total of 90 tons of CO2 by the end of 2025.
“Through this partnership, we aim to achieve tangible results in carbon removal and inspire other companies to eliminate their residual emissions after significant reduction efforts.” – Tobias Steinegger, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Mammut
To represent the initiative, Adam Ondra was filmed climbing the artificial route on the exterior of the CopenHill, the tallest artificial climbing wall and a ski slope on the ARC waste-to-energy plant.
“This could be seen as doing the first moves or grabbing a tiny intermediate hold. But the important thing is that we are moving in the right direction.” – Adam Ondra
