Direct carbon capture falters as developers’ costs fail to budge

1. DAC is fighting the entropy battle and losing

2. >Last year, the company opened Mammoth, the world’s largest direct air capture and storage plant, in Iceland. It has a capacity to extract 36,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually and has removed and stored 873 tonnes in its first 13 months of operation, amounting to net removals of 205 tonnes once lifecycle emissions are taken into account.

   🤣 this is a scam.

3. Are you saying that just keeping on and hoping some miracle technology would save us instead of meaningful social changes that would benefit almost anyone except rich and powerful fascists is not gonna work out?

4. “The International Energy Agency estimates that as much as 1.2bn tonnes of annual carbon dioxide extraction could be needed by 2050, compared with just about 100,000 tonnes of maximum output available today, which is split across 40 facilities worldwide.”

   failure to mention the fact that only 3 of those actually capture it and the others are used to improve fossil extraction is a loss of journalistic integrity

5. Thats because carbon capture is beyond retarded

6. The only capture tech that will help us is one that allows us to capture fossil fuel oligarchs.
