Can our climate be saved by vacuuming carbon out of the skies
76% Informative
Direct Air Capture ( DAC ) is the practice of removing CO2 from the atmosphere by pulling air through a mechanical or chemical filter.
The most cost-effective way to do this is by capping the smokestacks of a carbon-intensive process, like a factory or fossil fuel power plant.
But that does nothing to reduce the excess CO2 already in the atmosphere.
Even if we did manage to reduce all of our new emissions to zero , we’d still have to address the 950 gigatons or so of CO2 lurking in the air.
Direct Air Capture is a low-cost way of extracting CO2 from the atmosphere.
Holocene says its electro-chemical process is far more energy-efficient than many of the other companies operating in this space.
Mission Zero is also looking to develop a way of procuring large quantities of CO2.
It draws air into its hardware and then applies a water-based solvent.
The liquid can be reused and the CO2 can either be buried underground or turned into viable products.
In 2023 , the Stratos plant in Texas is expected to suck 500,000 tons of CO2 out of the air per year.
