You do realize that the planet's temperature's are already higher than they were before and are causing problems already in our environment right? If we let businesses use this technology then at best they'll all become carbon neutral because they'll just reuse that carbon fuel they created from the atmosphere and pump it all back out there. It's not just about reducing more damage to the environment, but also reversing the damage already done.
@@maxrequisiteLet me put this in economic terms. Fact is, climate change is already happening, and it is already gonna cause a massive amount of damage which will become very costly. Even if we keep temperature increases under 2 C, it's still not gonna be easy world to live in. Reversing that and bringing the climate to pre-industrial levels will fix that, but that requires we use carbon capture not just to justify complacency but as an active part of a bigger solution of also reducing emissions overall with investments in other technologies like renewables and electric vehicles. I'd love to see this technology get developed to become as optimal as it can be, but I also want to see it be developed alongside other technologies as well.
Electric Cars wont save the problem of less CO2 in the Atmosphere but politicians just dont get it. What you are doing is priceless and in my eyes, the future!
ttkok11 its not about fossil fuels. It is about lithium mining and cobalt mining.... people in brazil dont have enough water anymore for them because most of it is being used to extract lithium from the ground. So for one ton of lithium you need 2 million litres of water. And the real shit gets started with cobalt mining
ttkok11 not even then. It is better but the problem is you cant get an entire country to work only on renewable energy. Here in germany we tried that and partly did it actually but had to turn on our coal plants again and also have to buy electricity from neighbour countries who still use nuclear power plants (btw thats why germanies co2 emissions are so high because we dont have nuclear power anymore). However the problem is if there is no sun and no wind there is also 0 electricity and we have to buy the electricity from neighbour countries. Now imagine all the apx. 50 million cars in germany getting electric and have to charge every evening its 80kwH batteries. Im not saying electric cars suck but if we go that way we still have to have other alternatives people are free to choose of. A healthy mix of electric, hydrogen and mostly synthetic fuels is in my eyes the future of transportation.
How is it going? Have you heard any inside gossip about this? I'm suprised all the green organisations haven't got behind it. Plus all the nuclear reactors around the planet I would have thought several would pop up near all of them. I was in japan in 2011 when fukushima happened and they stopped all the plants, food prices went up because lots of green houses pumped full of heat and co2 had to pay more for electricity. It's such a shame masses low scientific knowledge or interest and government and media willing work together pulling wool over people's eyes. They spend 10s of billions a year on climate change research when a fraction of that could have been used to get decent carbon capture tech if was a real concern.
In spite of all the plants that have already been developed around the world that cumulatively remove gigatons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every day, if I had an extra couple million I'd invest in the development of these plants in a heartbeat, so we could have more of them. The plants, and heartbeats.

Another Market: Small-scale versions of scrubbers exist on the space station and in submarines. One day I look forward to have a small unit that I could have attached to my house that could scrub so I could completely be carbon negative with my lifestyle. Someone will do it one day the technology's there we just have to figure out how to do it. I think trying to make all these gigantic ones is not the way to go. The only benefit is that it's easily measurable but if you had hundreds of thousands of people in each City doing it on their own on a personal level it would be far more effective. It would create it its own industry, all the people to make them all the people to install them. You would feel pressure from your neighbors being the only one on the block to not have a scrubber. That will drive a market to use the captured CO2 to make other by-products. I guess it could be some kind of solid product like a brick. There will need to be some chemistry juxta positioning but theoretically it's possible. I would put out my carbon bricks at the curb to be picked up with my trash which would be used at the local recycling facility for whatever we need. My point is I think we're trying to go too big with this and we need to be trying to go small so everyone can buy into it as well.
We should have enough money to build that off of our taxes. I guess some people see march as a plan B. Also good to look into. However, it's unfortunate that there's more invested in plan B than A :( Politic is too busy bashing on each other.
You can also convert the carbon-dioxide into methane (natural gas) and then use that in systems that can use gases as fuel, such as turbine engines, diesel motors in train, agricultural, and marine applications.
Walter Clements yup I’m pretty sure it’s a cycle that keeps our atmosphere at a healthy amount of CO2. :) ( I think it’s unrealistic to get rid of all carbon because there’s always been co2 in our atmosphere. We just got an excessive amount atm.)
BEVs are for the middle and upper classes. If the world wants to address the portion of climate change that is attributed to exhaust fumes from ICE powered motor vehicles, then a new carbon neutral fuel needs to be developed so that existing ICE vehciles can use it. This development sounds to me like a practical solution to a complex problem. Elon Musk's BEV production days are numbered, I hope.
We should reuse hydroelectric plants to power stations like these, while moving the grid towards Nuclear energy. Also, to those in the comments section berating carbon capture technology, I would point out that no amount of trees is going to capture all the carbon we burned from deposits in which it was stored safely for millennia. One plant over a short period of time won’t fix the problem, but it’s a start.
I was with you till you said the plant size, and requirements. Wow... You need a way smaller system, if it was 1/8th the size I think a government would pick it up tomorrow. If you can build 8 small ones across a country it does the same work.
Just curious, how do you circulate the air? It seems like at an enormous scale, without a good wind, after a while you would be sucking back in the same air you pushed out without much CO2 remaining. And what happens to the air? If you were doing it at a global scale that meaningfully reduced the CO2 in the atmosphere would the earth's atmosphere shrink, or does it become less dense, or do molecules of some other gas get pulled in from space to take the place of the removed carbon?
I understand that you have favoured calcium over a biological solution for carbon capture, due to the high water requirements, but wouldn't that water be recycled? Could efficient enzymes be engineered and incorporated into your design, similar to what is used in living organisms? How does the energy requirements of calcium compare to that of bio inspired carbon capture? Needing more renewable energy, if solar, wind, or hydro are used, means greater land area and infrastructure, required.
I like how this is turning problems in atmospheric CO2 into a fuel, really awesome. It also appears that you don´t pollute at all, there was a man climbing down from the house hosting the CO2 pulling fan and there was no mask, just a helmet. Batteries are incredible pollutants but people are amazed at the 3.2 seconds a Tesla makes it to 60 mph. This is not the mindset we need.
Wonder if this technology could be used off earth? The atmosphere of Venus is nearly all carbon dioxide and so thick that air pressure up in that Venus’ clouds is the same as Earth’s surface pressure so something like this could be built on a zeppelin and stay afloat permanently. Producing fuel for the space industry.
How do you guys get Net Carbon out of the atmosphere if you're turning it back into fuel? How much of your Megaton of captured CO2 is put back into the air?
Can a small carbon capture fan be put on every roof to of every house with a carbon capture replacement canister, i don't think that should be too expensive to run it, plus we all have to pay.
It's so cool, surprisingly similar to the way plants capture carbon. Next step: how to make a house out of thin air and dirt, then I can imagine the next ice age caused by carbon-based buildings
I really do hope Carbon Engineering can work out this DAC problem on a large scale. I am just concerned with the fact that they are getting funding from Companies like BP and Chevron. Doesn't this incentivise them to dig up even more land to extract even more oil. Food for thought? Nevertheless I am happy they are getting some support at least
I would like to see more about the potential clean fuel from this so we can power the cars we have. And the sale of such fuel can fund this technology.
We don't own the water that falls on our own land. Now, this. "Carbon sequestration" is about owning the components of life. This film is Funded by Big Oil. In Squamish BC. See through the hype.
Last year all countries combined released 38 billion tons of CO2 in the air. This scrubber operates at a cost of $100 to $150 per ton. This plant can capture 1 magaton/year which is 1000000 tons. You do the math.
If only she knew about this company and technology then we wouldn't have to resort to implementing socialism to ban cow farts, rebuild 100s of millions of buildings in less then 10 years and replace 100 of millions of vehicles with electric vehicles which indirectly do equal damage to the environment to save the world. Better yet let her puppet master Zach Exley know.
I wanted to stary my direct carbon capture technology but i dont have the knowledge of hkw to do it. Can you please upload a video on how to build your own carbon capture technology. I just want to reduce climate change
Why are the pellets reheated to further concentrate the CO2? Is that necessary? Reheating requires a lot of energy, at least some (and maybe most) of which is likely to come from fossil fuels. That defeats the whole purpose here.
What do you expect? Any electronic device requires electricity to operate, which means fossil fuels are burned to create the electricity. The problem with renewable energy is that it's not an effective replacement for Oil/Gas. A local electricity utility can continue pumping fossil fuels from the Earth and produce electricity, but with renewable energy, you can't force the Sun to give you more Sunlight or the Wind to give you more Wind. They don't have to store as large of a quantity of energy in Lithium Ion batteries with Oil/Gas as with renewable energy. In conclusion, battery companies will have to create batteries that store more energy or smaller and modern nuclear reactors has to be used or ITER has to provide us with a way to create a fusion reaction.
If you remove all of the CO2 in the air, won't that affect plants that require that chemical to produce oxygen during the photosynthesis process? Or do you only want to remove the amount that factories and other sources that produce more then the earth can handle?
While this does permanently sequester Carbon, I feel like it's a bit of a waste to just pump it into the ground. Couldn't we use that carbon productively? Could we create biofuels with it?
@@painexotic3757 I don't wanna argur about his credibility all I know is that he can fact check a lot of scientific stuff and make it entertaining to watch.
I'm not an alarmist either b/c climate is 95% natural. However, this technology & a few others does appear to solve alot of the ongoing emissions. It makes no difference whether it's 75% of 90% it does take stuff out of the air & it can be recycled into new products (artificial limestone/provide co2 for the beverage industry). The important thing is it should allow existing electrical plants to stay afloat with their current fuel because that fuel is abundant & energy dense (efficiency). That is important be/c demand is always unsatiable & resources limited. This is more effective than intermittent wind & solar. I have nothing against wind & solar--they are nice supps but cannot meet the whole grid largely because of storage deficiencies. So how do you supply AC at night-very important? You must either have nat gas, coal, nuclear, or hydroelectric. We do not want a society where blackouts are normalized because this then becomes weaponized by politiicans who will turn it to extort votes & turn it off to punish people. You go with what's reliable.
I have been wanting to buy a small sports car, but will not do it because of the environmental impact. Car companies will benefit greatly from investing in carbon capture if they want the business of costumers worried about climate change.
This is basically a building block to terra-forming other plants IMO. If we as a species figure out how to basically replace trees, we're on our way to finding another planet to pillage resources from.
How does the systems ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere compare to the initial carbon emissions necessary to manufacture the system? And the ongoing carbon production associated with the energy to operate the system? At what point can a beneficial return on investment be expected? Of course there's the fact that there is no market for carbon sequestered from the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide is readily available from enumerable sources. Many with lower associated costs, from existing infrastructure, often as waste byproducts which processors are keen to be rid of at low cost. Thus any "market" for the system appears to be a consequence of government mandate, and would not exist in the absence of bureaucratic dictat. The elephant in the room is that there is likely no true need to utilize such a system due to the fact that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but rather a natural constituent component of the atmosphere which is necessary for the health and well being of the entire biosphere. The paleontological record displays several periods where the earth's atmosphere had two thousand parts per million of carbon dioxide or greater for millions of years. Fossil analysis associated with these periods provides extensive evidence that such high concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide correlate strongly with high yields of fruiting plant species, and large sizes of plant bodies. Greenhouse gas mixtures are often intentionally set to approximately two thousand parts per million carbon dioxide, for precisely this reason. Extensive evidence from agricultural activity supports the hypothesis that a global atmospheric carbon dioxide level of two thousand parts per million, five times current levels, would support similar phenomenon in flora worldwide. This would necessarily produce a massive boon in the agricultural products available to farmers globally. This calls into question the specific desirability of the carbon sequestration project as a whole. It appears that this project is entirely driven by a desire to garner subsidies, and take advantage of a government imposed mandatory utilization which would have universally detrimental effects on the energy, and manufacturing sectors. If this is not the case, please explain how it is not? This question is not meant to be an accusation, but rather a request for clarification as to how such a system can be useful in the absence of the artificially constituted demand created by government dictat based on presumptions of dubious provenance. Given the current climate of obscenely zealous adherence to the global warming narrative orthodoxy which treats all dissenting opinions as a form of heresy, rather than as a valid avenue of inquiry suitable for further analysis, and an appropriate application of the scientific method, it appears that such carbon sequestration schemes are little more than graft butter contingent on the continuation of the ongoing destruction of the scientific method. Therefore the specific utility of carbon sequestration must he addressed in order to ascertain its actual necessity in order to differentiate it from an unnecessarily wasteful boondoggle predicated on pseudo-religious assertions unsupported by proper scientific inquiry and argumentation, and advanced in an environment hostile to the necessary discourse required to make informed decisions and wise choices.

Can a small carbon capture fan be put on every roof to of every house with a carbon capture replacement canister, i don't think that should be too expensive to run it, plus we all have to pay.
It's so cool, surprisingly similar to the way plants capture carbon. Next step: how to make a house out of thin air and dirt, then I can imagine the next ice age caused by carbon-based buildings
I really do hope Carbon Engineering can work out this DAC problem on a large scale. I am just concerned with the fact that they are getting funding from Companies like BP and Chevron. Doesn't this incentivise them to dig up even more land to extract even more oil. Food for thought? Nevertheless I am happy they are getting some support at least
You should get an Instagram account to gain a strong following
Why would people even dislike this?
I would love to be one of you full scale plant maintenance electricians if you go full scale in British Columbia.

I would like to see more about the potential clean fuel from this so we can power the cars we have. And the sale of such fuel can fund this technology.
We don't own the water that falls on our own land. Now, this. "Carbon sequestration" is about owning the components of life. This film is Funded by Big Oil. In Squamish BC.
See through the hype.
Stock ticker symbol? Looks profitable.
Cost of one plant ? Plant size equal to 50M trees
Last year all countries combined released 38 billion tons of CO2 in the air. This scrubber operates at a cost of $100 to $150 per ton. This plant can capture 1 magaton/year which is 1000000 tons. You do the math.
Can I work for these guys?
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to know your location
I doubt it. A capitalist solution to this problem would not fit in to her socialist narrative.
@@willmorrell488 true.
If only she knew about this company and technology then we wouldn't have to resort to implementing socialism to ban cow farts, rebuild 100s of millions of buildings in less then 10 years and replace 100 of millions of vehicles with electric vehicles which indirectly do equal damage to the environment to save the world. Better yet let her puppet master Zach Exley know.
@@thelastminuteman7513It's true that there are people behind the curtains and AOC is just a puppet
Soo is this better amd efficient than trees
i want to see this on a much smaller scale like a tiny engine powered only by co2 like an arc reactor but an air reactor
I wanted to stary my direct carbon capture technology but i dont have the knowledge of hkw to do it. Can you please upload a video on how to build your own carbon capture technology. I just want to reduce climate change
Why are the pellets reheated to further concentrate the CO2? Is that necessary? Reheating requires a lot of energy, at least some (and maybe most) of which is likely to come from fossil fuels. That defeats the whole purpose here.
What do you expect? Any electronic device requires electricity to operate, which means fossil fuels are burned to create the electricity. The problem with renewable energy is that it's not an effective replacement for Oil/Gas. A local electricity utility can continue pumping fossil fuels from the Earth and produce electricity, but with renewable energy, you can't force the Sun to give you more Sunlight or the Wind to give you more Wind. They don't have to store as large of a quantity of energy in Lithium Ion batteries with Oil/Gas as with renewable energy. In conclusion, battery companies will have to create batteries that store more energy or smaller and modern nuclear reactors has to be used or ITER has to provide us with a way to create a fusion reaction.
If you remove all of the CO2 in the air, won't that affect plants that require that chemical to produce oxygen during the photosynthesis process? Or do you only want to remove the amount that factories and other sources that produce more then the earth can handle?
Don't worry removing all the co2 from the air is impossible
Amazing idea!
Come with more updates you need to advertise more
So it’s a mechanical tree
Price needs to come way down but there is enough co2 up there to last hundreds of years. Long way to go.
I hope this will work
Thanks
Amazing, love it
While this does permanently sequester Carbon, I feel like it's a bit of a waste to just pump it into the ground. Couldn't we use that carbon productively? Could we create biofuels with it?
Berrymouse the make a clean fuel from it
At least in my lifetime I can say that the future is in good hands..
I need thunderfoot to check this
I was thinking the same thing. Seen so many of his videos, I'm jaded.
thunderfoot isa clown who has been debunked many times.
@@painexotic3757 I don't wanna argur about his credibility all I know is that he can fact check a lot of scientific stuff and make it entertaining to watch.
Yeah you're right, I jumped the gun there
@@seishino2833 Imagine being a sheep who blindly goes along with what someone says instead of fact-checking it yourself.
Just asking who’s going to keep the plant going? Is there going to be a tax?Who exactly is going to pay for these plant to keep going?
They will sell the fuel they create from the CO2.
truly incredible. thank good we might not all die after all. geez
Why do you say so little about it? Let everyone know tell everyone =))
I'm not an alarmist either b/c climate is 95% natural. However, this technology & a few others does appear to solve alot of the ongoing emissions. It makes no difference whether it's 75% of 90% it does take stuff out of the air & it can be recycled into new products (artificial limestone/provide co2 for the beverage industry). The important thing is it should allow existing electrical plants to stay afloat with their current fuel because that fuel is abundant & energy dense (efficiency). That is important be/c demand is always unsatiable & resources limited. This is more effective than intermittent wind & solar. I have nothing against wind & solar--they are nice supps but cannot meet the whole grid largely because of storage deficiencies. So how do you supply AC at night-very important? You must either have nat gas, coal, nuclear, or hydroelectric. We do not want a society where blackouts are normalized because this then becomes weaponized by politiicans who will turn it to extort votes & turn it off to punish people. You go with what's reliable.
Looks like someone just landed a big fat investment cheque!
AOC: guys
AOC: i have a plan
AOC Left The Game
It is not CO2 IT IS GEOENGINEERING---
I have been wanting to buy a small sports car, but will not do it because of the environmental impact. Car companies will benefit greatly from investing in carbon capture if they want the business of costumers worried about climate change.
This is basically a building block to terra-forming other plants IMO. If we as a species figure out how to basically replace trees, we're on our way to finding another planet to pillage resources from.
Can we take this machine to mars?
I get it waste money to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make fuel to put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that makes sense?
They capture carbon and make it into a clean fuel u can use in your car today. It’s a win win win.
Capturing Carbon from air is good. But you are polluting water.
Why has no one been talking about this wtf?
Wondered when someone would think of this... probably not practical or profitable yet but....
How does the systems ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere compare to the initial carbon emissions necessary to manufacture the system? And the ongoing carbon production associated with the energy to operate the system? At what point can a beneficial return on investment be expected?
Of course there's the fact that there is no market for carbon sequestered from the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide is readily available from enumerable sources. Many with lower associated costs, from existing infrastructure, often as waste byproducts which processors are keen to be rid of at low cost. Thus any "market" for the system appears to be a consequence of government mandate, and would not exist in the absence of bureaucratic dictat.
The elephant in the room is that there is likely no true need to utilize such a system due to the fact that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but rather a natural constituent component of the atmosphere which is necessary for the health and well being of the entire biosphere. The paleontological record displays several periods where the earth's atmosphere had two thousand parts per million of carbon dioxide or greater for millions of years. Fossil analysis associated with these periods provides extensive evidence that such high concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide correlate strongly with high yields of fruiting plant species, and large sizes of plant bodies. Greenhouse gas mixtures are often intentionally set to approximately two thousand parts per million carbon dioxide, for precisely this reason. Extensive evidence from agricultural activity supports the hypothesis that a global atmospheric carbon dioxide level of two thousand parts per million, five times current levels, would support similar phenomenon in flora worldwide. This would necessarily produce a massive boon in the agricultural products available to farmers globally. This calls into question the specific desirability of the carbon sequestration project as a whole.
It appears that this project is entirely driven by a desire to garner subsidies, and take advantage of a government imposed mandatory utilization which would have universally detrimental effects on the energy, and manufacturing sectors. If this is not the case, please explain how it is not? This question is not meant to be an accusation, but rather a request for clarification as to how such a system can be useful in the absence of the artificially constituted demand created by government dictat based on presumptions of dubious provenance.
Given the current climate of obscenely zealous adherence to the global warming narrative orthodoxy which treats all dissenting opinions as a form of heresy, rather than as a valid avenue of inquiry suitable for further analysis, and an appropriate application of the scientific method, it appears that such carbon sequestration schemes are little more than graft butter contingent on the continuation of the ongoing destruction of the scientific method. Therefore the specific utility of carbon sequestration must he addressed in order to ascertain its actual necessity in order to differentiate it from an unnecessarily wasteful boondoggle predicated on pseudo-religious assertions unsupported by proper scientific inquiry and argumentation, and advanced in an environment hostile to the necessary discourse required to make informed decisions and wise choices.
Shut up. Go read the peer reviewed article and material cited and don't ask retarded questions for 14 yr olds and YT trolls
Leo do he gives this well written comment and you give a middle schoolers response when they get called out
@@shadowwolf2809 Well: (1) it sounds like I was right based on my reply and (2) if his response was soooooo amazing, you would have addressed it and not my middle school ramblings? Check and mate. :-)
@@shadowwolf2809 Also, you can shut up, too. The moron above is accusing the company of being a government moocher, seeking only government subsidies and yammering on about folks who believe in global warming as akin to religious zealotry on a video about a plan to literally put an end to global warming and the so-called zealotry. He goes on to say that we don't need this solution because CO2 isn't a pollutant. I suppose he would have also argued in the late 80s that O3, ozone, also wasn't a pollutant. And, of course, you didn't read his reply but you are defending a naysayer that gave no reason to naysay.
I love capitalism.
