Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Typically, any discussion of actively removing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the earth’s atmosphere to help reduce the greenhouse effect of manmade emissions has so far centered on carbon storage and capture. That usually means removing CO 2 from the waste stream at a high-emission generation point (for example, a power plant) and then putting it into long-term storage, such as by pumping it far underground. The problem with that approach is that it layers costs upon costs, with only very diffuse benefits. That makes it really difficult to get off the ground in any scalable way. What if instead, our elevated levels of atmospheric CO 2 were viewed as a business opportunity? That’s the approach that the folks at AirCapture LLC, based in Berkeley, California, are taking. Their mission is to use their Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to pull CO 2 straight from the atmosphere, anywhere it’s needed for other industrial … [Read more...] about AirCapture And 3D Systems Partner To Make Decarbonizing Our Atmosphere Profitable
