The world’s largest manufacturing facility to seize carbon dioxide from the air has begun operations in Iceland. Lowering the quantity of CO₂ within the Earth’s ambiance would assist scale back the results of local weather change.
It showcases a creating expertise thought of by some to be an vital instrument within the battle towards local weather change however sceptics query how a lot impression it could actually have.
Is it a futuristic imaginative and prescient of easy methods to save the planet from runaway local weather change, or a futile expense that distracts from the urgency of slashing co2 emissions?
In accordance with the businesses that constructed the plant, Climeworks and Carbfix, when working at capability the plant will draw 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the air yearly.

The butthole that said this is a waste of time at the end is clearly in solar powers / windpowers pocket. This is the first generation of something like this and we're gonna need anything we can get. But that ONE guy can shape the minds of millions of people. Twisted media no real answer just be happy that people have created this.
Just plant treed
Put such a plant beside every coal-fired thermal power plant.
the bbc are idiots
You see the ppl that own the factories is trapped in the demons arms can't do anything about it they goal is to open the world by heating it up to get hell out from underneath and bring hell to the ground
Thanks YOU SCIENCE and the smart and amazing SCIENTISTS a that use their gifts to help the helpless 😍🥰🤩
I don't think we should be investing more on capturing CO2 than not letting it out in the first place. And if we can't, Wouldn't it me way efficient to suck the carbon up directly from the factories than thin air, it will save a lot of power and time.
Well that sucks.
Now this is actually good news
Great so we can keep using gasoline cars
What a usuless…
Go build nuclear (not in island, usuless) and shut down coal and gaz
The question is how much this must run to suck all the co2 use to build it?
The guys who say wind turbine and solar is one again a illuminaty of fake ecology….
They make this?
I've been to Iceland, it's one of the greenest, cleanest, most beautiful places on Earth. Why wouldn't they build a plant in China where the real problem is I wonder?
We dug it up and now we're putting it back in the ground
Plant a lot of trees. Don’t cut a lot of trees. Problem solved. But it’s easy said than done. Business is thicker than nature.
It's so expensive because it's new tech, we need to invest in this new tech now while it expensive in anchorage production lines and costs can be reduced in the future. The same thing happened with solar panels.
sssssucked that shit out the air, sent it to the depths
There’s no money in ecosystem restoration – which would do a lot to help reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. You can’t patent a wetland, temperate and tropical rainforest, boreal forest, arctic tundra, etc. So don’t think for a second this system is seeking to undo the wrongs over the last 40-50 years (especially) because of a primary concern for humanity and biodiversity on earth. It’s doing it because there is lots of money to be made
You need to fund the technologies to bring the cost down and increase efficiency over time.
How about stop deforestation and replant the trees we cut down ! 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲🌴
People don't realize we need carbon dioxide as this is the oxygen for plants, trees, flowers which they emit during the day. Plant clean the air we breath and release clean oxygen during the night so this is scary stuff. Read your biology people! This is NOT GOOD!
100% nonsense
So what are the costs ? Couldn’t they just build a giant o mega one ? Like the size of a small country ?
Too bad it's too late.
This is a very Expensive solution to an extreme problem…
Honestly, this plant is only good for towns and villages across the world who may or may not have factories which produce CO2. If all that its doing is taking it and cleaning it out and sputting it back then its wayyyyy toooooo slow for the amount that we as a whole planet is producing… might as well just plant some trees and wait till they spread… this is a waste of money and those who r pushing for funding for technology from their Govt are about 20 years late to the environmental game…
In a city like Mumbai, Karachi, Hong Kong, The U.A.E and some middle Eastern Countries who r pumping out oil for the world, and most populated African cities. Just for these alone they will need hundreds if not 1000s of these little factories which is counter productive to what we as humans need to be doing… work smarter not harder ppl…
Why don’t they hook the co2 scrubber directly to a power plant?
Imagine using this tech to clean the air right from the source and making it a law.
Water vapor is now pollution lol.
I think I read that it will have to operate for years to get 3 seconds worth of emissions.
That's gonna do fuck all!
The weather control fantasy is getting a little out of hand
if we can plant it in every city or country.it will be a affect
What the hell are they doing to this planet. Madness. Who pays for this?
Climate change is the science that can change the temperature of the past to make it look like the earth is abnormally heating up.
It's amazing how soon it will be petrafied… Indicator of young earth.
Just grow trees, it does the job
Just pipe the co2 into greenhouses as fertilizer, oh wait that comes on the wind for free!
could something like this be placed at new factories? like at the end point where emissions come out? I dont know the science behind all of this aside from the basic "sucking in and burying it down" stuff.
Gonna need a lot more than just one. Thats literally a bandaid covering a splinter.
science b*tch! yeah
When it starts getting cold again…oh wait…it is
suck out all the co2 is will save us all
I am a Chemical Engineer and I feel so happy to be working in carbon capture project! This is one of the emerging energy transition technology!
Fine thank you for land craft duct' solotion
How to destroy all life on the planet in one easy lesson – remove all the life giving CO2.
Imagine if countries spend military budgets on climate saving tech.
