Can machines for extracting CO2 from the atmosphere have how hard they are running be ramped up and down quickly? Or do they just have a rate they work at, where changing how much one is doing would require changing how much machine there is / which ones are active ?
- ncmncm 5y agoMachines for removing CO2 from the air need consume no power at all. (E.g., a big fabric corral that waves slop into, connected to a fabric tube 10 m across that opens 1000m below.) Machines to synthesize H2 and NH3 could be ramped up and down, but in practice will run 24/7 except when price peaks and stockpiles are burned for power instead.
