50 tonnes a year per machine doesn't sound much, compared to just growing bamboo or something similar.

- ghshephard 9y ago"Each year, a hectare of Moso bamboo absorbs 5.1 tons of carbon" http://inesad.edu.bo/developmentroast/2013/05/what-can-bamboo-do-about-co2/ http://inesad.edu.bo/developmentroast/2013/05/what-can-bambo... You would need 10 Hectares of land to equal one of these machine. Sounds reasonably impressive to me. Even more impressive if the climework "tonne" is 2200 pounds and the bamboo ton is just 1000 pounds.
- Tade0 9y agoThere goes my genius idea to grow bamboo and turn it into charcoal to trap carbon.
- p0nce 9y agoIt's still early beginnings for carbon capture. If you have money, by funding ClimeWorks and such you encourage further research on this topic.
