Today I’m talking with someone I’ve been so impressed with for a while, Anna Ahn, who is on the Communications Staff at Climeworks. Climeworks is Tomorrow’s Air’s first carbon removal supply partner. Climeworks uses direct air capture carbon removal technology to clean up carbon from the atmosphere and store it permanently, and is Tomorrow’s Air’s first carbon removal supply partner. Anna and I met while pitching Airbnb to host our online experience called “Pull Carbon Dioxide from the Air” which included a virtual tour of the Climeworks plant in Hinwil. Now I’m lucky to call her a friend.

Originally from Germany, Anna now lives in Switzerland and has spent time in Korea, Iceland, and traveling to other parts of the world. Anna is passionate, curious, and acting now professionally on a long held interest and passion for sustainability and environment. We discuss our mutual love of hiking and backpacking, knitting, the properties of volcanic stone in Iceland, a beautiful summarization on the difference between direct air capture and carbon capture and storage, giving a direct air capture plant tour to employees from Google, the ways in which current social trends influence climate communications, and Momo – a German fantasy story about the concept of time.
