This is really cool! I hope that you can rise above the comments of the "this isn't good enough" or "zero carbon or bust" crowd. This type of innovation is what we need to move the needle in a realistic manner and that helps to build on the infrastructure that we already have in place.
I'm excited to see what comes of this in the coming years!
- rmcginnis 7y agoThanks!
- rorykoehler 7y agoI'm conflicted. This is clearly better than what we have but I was really hoping for a carbon negative future. I hope projects like this are a stepping stone and not a handbrake on progress.
- ahje 7y agoIf it breaks our dependency on fossil fuels then I'm all for it.
- rorykoehler 7y agoYe on reflection and reading more comments from the founder I'm tentatively positive on this. Localised air pollution from burning of fuels and globally elevated co2 levels are two distinct problems. Solving one is already a big step in the right direction.
- ahje 7y agoPrecisely! Replacing all gasoline and diesel engines, if that's even possible, will take decades. We need something other than fossil fuels for them in the mean time.
- hyperbovine 7y agoThis does not displace a carbon negative future. And zero minus current emissions is still a negative number.
- graeme 7y agoWouldn’t this help carbon negativity eventually? The world can just pay to sequester fuel produced this way, and bring concentrations down to preindustrial levels.
