As part of the 2024 Arctic Circle Assembly, Carbfix’s igloo-shaped injection well shelter was placed in front of Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre. This eye-catching installation symbolizes the fragile state of the Arctic and serves as a platform to showcase Carbfix’s pioneering work in turning CO₂ into stone through its mineralization technology. Designed by the visionary architect Einar Þorsteinn Ásgeirsson, the structure embodies the intersection of creativity and climate action. Einar Þorsteinn, known for his belief in human ingenuity as a tool to build a better world, created this innovative structure, which has been featured in major media outlets, including Bill Gates' Netflix series What’s Next?, CBS's 60 Minutes, and the cover of National Geographic. In a fitting twist, Einar Þorsteinn also collaborated with the artist Ólafur Elíasson, who designed Harpa Concert Hall, and signs of their collaboration can be clearly seen in Harpa’s design.

By placing the structure in front of one of Iceland's most iconic cultural venues, Carbfix aims to bring the message of sustainability to the forefront of public attention. This installation isn't just a visual statement – it represents the critical need for innovative climate solutions like Carbfix's mineralization technology, reminding us of the urgency to act on climate change. Additionally, a special musical performance by the choir Kliður, held inside the Borholuhús, will merge art and science to inspire meaningful action on climate change. “Bringing design together with climate technology solutions can serve as a bridge to welcoming the portfolio of solutions required to meet global climate goals. As we scale up, it will be inevitable that all clean energy and climate solutions will interface with communities. Carbfix is an example that demonstrates we have the choice to do so in a meaningful and impactful way.” — Jennifer Wilcox, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Energy Policy, University of Pennsylvania “We don’t usually talk about design elements in the climate field, but it can be powerful in communicating and engaging with communities as we deal with invisible gas.” — Yuki Sekiguchi, Maximizing Climate Impact.
