GFZ Earth Update

A New Approach to Removing CO2 from the Atmosphere

Live Lecture SeriesCutting-edge research meets the immersive world of the planetarium: In the new lecture series “GFZ Earth Update,” researchers from the GFZ Helmholtz Center for Geosciences provide live insights into their current research projects. Through direct interaction with the audience and impressive 360° full-dome projections under the dome, they bring scientific findings to life in a vivid and immediate way. This creates new perspectives on our planet and the processes that are changing it.November 2, 2026: Premiere: “A New Approach to Removing CO2 from the Atmosphere”To achieve EU climate neutrality by 2050, unavoidable CO₂ emissions must be removed using safe technologies, in addition to massive reductions in anthropogenic emissions. In Germany, this will require the removal of approximately 100 megatons of CO₂ per year starting in 2050.The RESET project at the Helmholtz Center for Geosciences (GFZ) is investigating whether a natural geochemical process—which has been permanently sequestering atmospheric CO₂ in the ocean as limestone for millions of years—can contribute to this goal. Could this method be applied in the long term to agricultural land, such as a vineyard? How significant is its CO₂ storage effect under natural conditions? And how long do these processes take? Three researchers and a winemaker will present these questions, along with some answers and insights, in elaborate 360° full-dome projections in the planetarium auditorium.Speakers:Prof. Dr. Dirk Sachse, Head of the Organic Earth Surface Geochemistry Research Group in the Geomorphology Section at the GFZ in Potsdam and Professor of Organic Geochemistry of the Earth’s Surface System at Humboldt University in BerlinDr. Patrick Frings, Head of the Metal Isotope Geochemistry Research Group in the Organic and Earth Surface Geochemistry Section at the GFZ in PotsdamPD Dr. Pia-Johanna Emma Schweizer, Head of the Systemic Risks Research Group at the Research Institute for Sustainability at the GFZ in PotsdamStefan Sander, viticultural technician and manager of the Sander Winery in Mettenheim—Germany’s oldest organic wineryFor more information, visit the Berlin Science Week 2026 event page.© D.
