Carbon Engineering is a company developing technology for carbon capture and storage. Bill Gates has invested in the company.
Most scientists and environmental journalists see an urgent need for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate climate change.

Transcript:
In Squamish, British Columbia, there's a company that wants to stop climate change by sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
One of our plants does the work of 40 million trees.
We have the lowest capital cost, an energy cost of any of the CO2 capture from atmosphere solutions.
Basically, Carbon Engineering's process involves using large fans to pull in atmospheric air through a device called the Contactor. After that, it's just chemistry. The air gets sent through a honeycomb structure upon which a liquid solution of chemicals is constantly raining down on some of the CO2 molecules in the air stick to that liquid, and the resulting solution is processed in a few more chemical steps to form calcium carbonate pellets, which are heated at very high temperatures to release pure carbon dioxide, which can then be stored underground or used to create products like fuels.
All the chemicals in the process are recycled so the cycle can repeat.

Sorry, I have never heard of such possibility in fighting climate change. Instead of activism, why not concentrate all of that energy into furthering research like these to solve the problem that was once a solution to a former problem.

Because carbon capture is a scam. It takes megawatts of electricity to remove less carbon than it takes to generate it. Even when you use solar. It would take decades of constant capture to break even.

Just plant more trees and nature will take care of everything.

I heard it cost $600 per tonne to remove from the carbon from the atmosphere.

Which WE will be expected to pay for and which will do absolutely nothing it claims. It's a total scam by career criminals intent on installing a totalitarian global regime where you and I will be restricted in everything we do but the elites will still be flying to climate junkets where they will lecture us all about what we may or may not do, think and feel. Ffs ... wake up! Warm is good, CO2 is good.

Lolllll wee Are at historical minimum of CO2 if wee look milions of years ... Its 419 units preindustrial was 280 and regular for Last 200 milion years was roughly 1000-2000 younits in a milion its 0.04% CO2 in if wee drop to 0.02 plants will start to die of ... So this people Are killing the life in Earth. Welcome to reality

Where do you get the energy for running the fans and heating CaCO3 pellets at VERY HIGH Temperature?

canada in particular has vast hydroelectricity capacity. which is totally clean

I would install these in all major cities around the world. Impressive technology. Maybe integrate this technology onto major highways and high carbon areas. Scientists need to step up. Taking money and sitting around is a major problem in the scientific community. Scientists are not working as hard on problems like they used to. I think this technology has massive potential and can be sold to governments for a great profit, with the added bonus of clean air.

@jenniferrosemaryren6250 2 ай бұрын

Sounds like a very energy intensive process there. I wonder if the energy balance shows that this process is feasible and makes sense to do. If more energy is needed with more carbon footprint, then why to capture this carbon. That itself defeats the objectives. Maybe I don’t get the full story via this short clip.

Does it capture carbon from the upper levels of the atmosphere? Is it a concern that its fixed @ one location? Whats the cost of running it ? Appreciate the optimism. Hope its a practical n flexible solution.

Great question! According to a 2021 Recharge article Carbon Engineering had estimated the energy need as 8.8GJ per tonne of captured CO2. The company is targeting a cost of $100 per tonne of CO2 captured. www.rechargenews.com/energy-transition/the-amount-of-energy-required-by-direct-air-carbon-capture-proves-it-is-an-exercise-in-futility/2-1-1067588

While everything that we do has an effect on everything living on this planet and we should clean up our energy for the sake of our own health, climate change as a whole is cyclical and happens periodically. The ones who knew this are the indigenous whom have lived here the longest and have recorded the weather patterns. 🌎✨

@@My_cat_is_fat Interesting points brother. 🙂 Humanity is indeed is having an impact on it's planet, but keep in mind the tendency for overpresentation and dramatization that can make things seem worse than they are. Earth has been through many events, and it will always find a balance. CO2 makes a small fraction of our atmosphere and is readily absorbed by the plants and algae of our seas. It's the pollutants and smog that we need to be mindful of, for it affects our health, but humanity will survive. Perhaps not thousands of years. I'm talking more in the hundreds, about every 300 years or so. Have you heard of the great snow and the winter periods in the 1700's? Those were the events that I'm mentioning. To us in America, those events were just early enough so that the colonists didn't know what was going on, only that they arrived on baren lands, without much civilization, and that the weather was really really cold. The Indians who lived on those plains knew of and had adapted to the cycles. The events were recorded in England too, but the early colonists in America, threw that knowledge away in the pursuit of cutting ties to England.
