This might be a stupid question, but it is not mentioned on Kickstarter how the carbon extractor is powered, and what is the energy needed for, let's say, extracting 100g of Carbon from the atmosphere.
- tito 7y agoIt's a great question! If we add more carbon to the air during the process, that defeats the purpose! Overall, it works like we need it to. But it needs to get much much bigger and better before it makes a difference, and it certainly needs to run on renewable energy. Carbon Engineering did a great publication in Joule describing their machine. https://www.cell.com/joule/pdf/S2542-4351(18)30225-3.pdf https://www.cell.com/joule/pdf/S2542-4351(18)30225-3.pdf
