What does TerraFixing do?

TerraFixing is a Canadian direct air capture (DAC) company based in Ottawa, founded in 2020. The company specializes in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using patented technology designed for cold, dry climates. Its innovative approach utilizes adsorption-based technology with zeolites to efficiently capture CO₂, making it particularly effective in remote locations where renewable wind power is abundant. The company's first project is a pilot facility in Fermont, Quebec, set to open in 2025, with a capacity to capture 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year. TerraFixing aims to scale its operations by establishing "climate hubs" in Canada's Far North, supporting local communities while addressing climate change. The company has formed strategic partnerships with organizations like TUGLIQ and Johnson Matthey to enhance its technology and supply chain, and it is backed by various funding sources, including government support and investments from industry partners.
