How’s your math work? If they sequester 1 million per year and we produce 5,600 million per year, 10,000 of these would capture nearly 2x one year of emissions,

- sillywalk 3y agoI'm terrible at math, so here goes: Global emissions of around 36+ Billion Tonnes/yr, so 10k facilities * 1Mtonnes_removed/year/facility = 10 Billion Tonnes removed /year. = < 1/3rd global emissions. not included: + all the wildfire emissions + whatever emissions it takes to actually create 10k+ DAC facilities, and operate them forever,
- mrweiner 3y agoAh, global emissions. I was confused because you’d responded to the comment about US emissions. Thanks for clarifying.
