I totally agree on skepticism. We are working hard to prove our economics. We are targeting selling renewable gasoline from the air for a profit next year. It will be much better for air quality too!
- scrape_it 7y agoHope the best for you guys, I really do! If realized, this could be too seductive for foreign governments that depend on importation of oil and polluting their air to support export industries. Cleaning up the air AND mining the skies for gasoline? Good deal imho.
- kaennar 7y agoHow will this improve the global average of air quality? If you are removing the CO2 from the air then reintroducing it back into the same environment (assuming it is not repurposed in another sector e.g. jet fuel, commercial containers) wont the net effect be the same? I understand this will concentrate the pollution significantly and may even reduce it in the short term, but wont the average effects be the same?
- aeorgnoieang 7y agoIt'll improve net air quality (if it works) because our current methods of producing fuels themselves require other 'carbon negative' energy.
- thinkcontext 7y agoBy "air quality" I believe he is saying that an extra benefit to being carbon neutral is that their fuel combusts more purely than fuel made from crude oil. This means less SOx, NOx, particulates, etc.
