As an outdoor sports company that relies on an intact nature, Mammut enables outdoor enthusiasts to have unique experiences in the mountains with durable equipment, while also protecting them from the elements and injuries. However, these products generate emissions throughout their production, and travel to the mountains adds further emissions. In addition to the reduction efforts being implemented at Mammut and throughout its supply chain, the company was also exploring innovative ways to remove the remaining carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
The initiative developed from Mammut’s ambitious decarbonization strategy, “Do Our Best, Remove the Rest.” Carbonaide played a critical role in the joint initiative: the company mineralized the captured CO₂ to permanently store it in concrete.
The CO₂ removals were sold to the Swiss outdoor clothing and climbing gear brand Mammut via Klimate.co, which operates the marketplace on which the CO₂ mineralized by Carbonaide were sold. The liquefied CO₂ was then safely transported by Bofort N.V to Carbonaide for carbon dioxide curing in Hollola, Finland.
