Thanks, that's quite clear.
What about the tradeoff vs. large stationary units on power plants? I know other folks are working on that as well; would love to know about how the economics work out vs. truck-sized units.
- paulgross 6y agoThe great thing about truck-sized units is that they can be modular, so we can easily mass produce them. The challenge with stationary units for power plants is that each one has to be custom-designed from the ground up. Plus, you have to put in tons of capital up front for a power plant, whereas our units are very cheap to make. That's why we think mobile carbon capture is the more scalable approach.
- uranium 6y agoThat makes a lot of sense.
- skybrian 6y agoIt seems like integration with small generators could happen later, though? Perhaps concrete producers or other consumers of CO2 would buy them, and use or sell the electricity.
- HardEric 6y agointegration with generators at the CO2 consumers site, cut out the shipping costs, that's an interesting thought experiment!
