New technology removes CO2 99,000 times faster than all Earth's oceans combined
- The world's oceans absorb roughly 25% of human-generated carbon dioxide (CO2), serving as nature's largest carbon sink. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) companies, like Equatic, are working to amplify this process,
The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking technology developed by a company called Equatic, which has created a method to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate, 99,000 times faster than the natural process of the Earth's oceans. This technology utilizes seawater electrolysis to not only capture CO2 but also to produce hydrogen, which can be used as a clean energy source. The process involves splitting seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, with the CO2 being mineralized into stable forms like bicarbonate and carbonate, effectively sequestering it for centuries. This dual benefit of CO2 removal and hydrogen production could significantly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing the transition to renewable energy sources. The technology has been tested in pilot projects, showing promising results in terms of scalability and efficiency, potentially offering a scalable solution to climate change mitigation.
