CLIMATE CHANGE ENTREPRENEUR We are now inviting qualified professionals (BA/BS, MA/MBA/MS, PhD) to become CLIMATE CHANGE ENTREPRENEURS (CCE's). Each CCE will own the business which produces our "Oxygenator" wave-powered ocean upwelling technology, in or near a port city of their choice and then deploy these Oxygenators in suitable open ocean regions (beyond the EEZ >200nm). Each Oxygenator (comprising buoy, fabric tube extending as deep as 500m attached to one-way valve) generates upwelling of nutrients into the sunlit upper ocean, triggering photosynthesis and restoring the ocean food web while enhancing natural ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Customers you engage will subscribe to become net-zero within about 15 years by supporting your effort. These may be corporations, or governments needing to meet their Paris Accord commitments. We are now establishing crowdfunding campaigns for each CCE to raise the required $500,000 to fund the CCE's company formation and...

We’re seeking an experienced R&D Chemical Engineer to bring our innovative technology out of the lab and into commercial operations. You will be responsible for experimental process design and implementation and will work closely with the R&D team and the Director of Engineering. The successful candidate has 5+ years of industry experience, has conducted pilot scale experiments, and understands how to improve process efficiency, reduce cost, and improve sustainability. This is a full-time on-site position in Menlo Park, CA, with a competitive salary and stock options. Priority will be given to local applicants with approved status for US employment. Start Date (tentative): September 21st, 2020 NOTE: This is NOT a biology-related position.   What You’ll Do Design and operate large-scale laboratory systems - e.g. work with solids/liquids in 20 L vessels and specialty instrumentation for polymer synthesis, purification, formulation,...

DESCRIPTION You take ownership of projects to enlarge our CO 2  sorbent portfolio, both by in-house development or in collaborations with external parties. This may include the evaluation of commercial materials or the development of new sorbents from the first idea through conceptualization, synthesis and testing to scale-up and commercialization.  You strive to understand the material specific processes that happen during the CO2 capture cycle to enhance further the performance of sorbent materials within novel and established processes. Keeping an overview of the technology by monitoring literature and attending conferences will help you to perceive ideas for additional projects, to shape your network in the field and to establish new collaborations in academia or industry.  You collaborate closely with our team of process engineers to develop optimal utilization strategies of novel and optimized materials within new process concepts to enhance...

Climeworks captures CO 2  from air with the world’s first commercial carbon removal technology. Our direct air capture plants remove CO 2  from the atmosphere to supply to customers and to unlock a negative emissions future. Your Role: You develop novel sorbent materials for the capture of CO2 from ambient air; you optimize sorbents for increased performance and lower costs; you are responsible from the first idea through conceptualization and synthesis within the given economic boundaries You collaborate closely with our team of process engineers to develop optimal utilization strategies of novel and optimized materials within new process concepts to enhance the CO 2  output and reduce the energy requirements of the Climeworks product You carry out testing campaigns to validate and further enhance the performance of sorbent materials within novel and established processes You carry out analysis campaigns to assess the stability of...
