About Us

We remove CO2 where it matters most and turn the tide for a liveable future

We are the Planeteers, a climate-tech startup from Hamburg, Germany. We capture CO2 in water and unleash the potential of the oceans as the largest carbon sink on our planet. Accelerated Weathering of Limestone (AWL) is a reaction in which CO2 is „neutralized“ using limestone. This reaction occurs in nature all the time, everywhere and on a large scale. Time scales of natural limestone weathering are thousands of years. With our technology, the process can be extremely accelerated, so that large amounts of CO2 can be rendered „harmless“ within minutes.
