There may be a pattern here of YC funding carbon removal techniques that perhaps cannot work at all. Here's another one: Remora https://www.remoracarbon.com/ ht

There may be a pattern here of YC funding carbon removal techniques that perhaps cannot work at all. Here's another one: Remora https://www.remoracarbon.com/ https://www.remoracarbon.com/ As far as I know there is no research paper on the topic ... nothing to indicate it actually is a viable solution. They also don't want to talk to anyone about hard questions. It's like the Theranos of carbon removal, using Silicon-valley style secrecy. I can't help but feel that if we are to successfully save the climate, it won't be dependent on secrecy.

> “ As far as I know there is no research paper on the topic ... nothing to indicate it actually is a viable solution.” Come on. Remora is literally founded from their CTO’s PhD thesis. From their website: “ Christina pioneered Remora’s technology during her engineering PhD at the University of Michigan, becoming one of the world’s leading experts on mobile carbon capture. She went on to test a mobile carbon capture prototype in the EPA’s National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Lab” If you Google “Christina Reynolds Carbon Capture” you will get, as a first result, a link to her PhD thesis: https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/151521/creyn_1.pdf?sequence=1 https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/1515...
