From July 8 to 21, the vessel will be moored in the heart of Reykjavík, welcoming institutional representatives, industrial stakeholders, researchers, and partners on board.
Direct air capture: filming at Climeworks and Carbfix
While Energy Observer stays in Reykjavík, the production team will travel across Iceland to document the latest advances in Direct Air Capture (DAC). Filming will take place at the facilities of two pioneers in the field:
- Climeworks : direct CO₂ capture from the atmosphere
- Carbfix : permanent mineral storage of CO₂ in basaltic rock
Together, their combined approach makes Iceland one of the world's leading laboratories for engineered carbon removal.
Qair and Iceland's decarbonized energy ecosystem
This stopover also spotlights Qair, an official partner of Energy Observer, which is developing ambitious renewable energy and green hydrogen projects across Iceland. Qair's presence reflects the country's broader commitment to an integrated decarbonized energy ecosystem, one that combines:
- Renewable electricity production
- Green hydrogen development
- Innovative climate solutions
Reykjavík stopover: dialogue and knowledge-sharing
Through onboard visits, meetings, and exchanges, the Reykjavík stopover offers a unique opportunity to:
- Share the lessons learned throughout Mission 1
- Present concrete decarbonization pathways
- Foster dialogue on how technological innovation and natural ecosystems can work together to reach carbon neutrality
