Tangential thought; aren't compressed gas companies who bottle CO2/Nitrogen etc. technically carbon capturing?
Surely they have optimised their industrial processes, which could be repurposed into a large storage unit rather than a cast iron gas bottle?
- berkes 5y agoAs the author points out: they are. But you have to look at the CO2 emitted for compressing that gas and creating the containers and so on.
- sunshineforever 5y agoIsn't all that co2 re-released relatively quickly? It gets fizzed and burped right back into the air.
- saberdancer 5y agoIt does, but you could store them underground and capture carbon. Not sure if it scales.
- nxpnsv 5y agoBut are they carbon negative? I don't think so
- Beltiras 5y agoIndustrial CO2 is produced by burning natural gas as a byproduct to produce ammonia. DAC is way too expensive.
