Mammoth new air capture plant will suck 36,000 tonnes of CO2 per year in Iceland
- senttoschool 4y agoHow much CO2 is produced for every 36k tons removed?
- scrapheap 4y agoThat's an interesting question. I'd expect there to not be too much when running as it's powered by a geothermal energy source. However there's bound to be CO2 produced when building the plant. Hopefully the plant will offset that pretty quickly.
- phillipseamore 4y agoThat's about the same as CO2 emissions from 8 thousand cars per year. It would probably be cheaper and more efficient to just get rid of the cars.
- tamaharbor 4y agoWe only need about 1 million of these air capture plants.
