Here we go! Thanks for the link Andrew ~ ~ ~
Here is the tech, or more accurately, the tech platform -
CarbonCapture,
Inc… "A generalized DAC platform for
solid
sorbents that allows for incremental upgrades, minimizes
obsolescence, and
speeds up development cycles." Sorbents include amines, MOFs
(metal-organic framework), zeolites and more.
https://www.carboncapture.com/
Next Step - Simultaneous with the rapidly advancing industrialization that is now ongoing: A restoration target!
If anyone needs a long list of ongoing DAC industrialization
(that is nowhere near all inclusive), I have copied in my section
on DAC from my archives below.
Whoop!
Bruce
Ongoing Industrialization of Direct Air Capture and Sequestration of CO2 ...
Industry seems to think there is money here, lots of it. Industrialization is moving forward fast indicating that these processes are revenue generating programs.
Project Bison, Wyoming, 5 million tons per year by
2030, a Direct Air
Capture (DAC) project of Frontier Carbon Solutions and
CarbonCapture, Inc. … "A
Los
Angeles-based company kicked off on Thursday what it said will
be the first
large-scale direct air capture (DAC) project to capture and
store 5 million
tons of carbon dioxide per year by 2030, benefiting from new
U.S. government
incentives." Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, McKinsey
