Our climate action strategy

Canadian TerraFixing captures CO₂ from the air via a novel Direct Air Capture process that employs adsorption technology. It is designed to operate in cold, remote locations where extracting CO₂ from the air is easier and cheaper, and where the scalability of renewable wind power is large. The greatest challenge with DACs is likely electricity consumption. The electricity must be cheap, clean and the DACs company should not crowd out other uses of the clean electricity. Furthermore, building large amounts of clean electricity quickly is difficult due to permitting and grid connection delays. TerraFixing’s technology sidesteps much of this thanks to the possibility of deploying in remote locations where renewable energy can produce more and there is little competition for the electricity.

Opportunity Green is working to end the exemption of international flights from the EU Emissions Trading System, which leaves more than 80 MtCO₂ unregulated each year. Through legal interventions, policy briefs, and alliances with innovative aviation companies, the initiative builds the case that including long-haul aviation is essential for EU climate integrity and competitiveness. The strategy also leverages Ireland’s upcoming EU Council Presidency and support from climate vulnerable countries to secure reform. Bringing international aviation into the ETS would close a major gap in EU climate policy and generate significant revenues for climate action.

The Kawsay Ñampi project, led by the Kichwa People of Sarayaku in the Ecuadorian Amazon, protects 142,500 hectares of intact rainforest through Indigenous governance and modern monitoring tools. The project is developed under the Climate Justice Standard, which ensures that the project channels most funds directly to community priorities while piloting an ethical, non-offset Climate Justice Contribution model. It offers a replicable pathway for Indigenous-led, high-integrity climate and biodiversity solutions.
