   Is it a saas or on-prem solution? I'd be interested in a tool like this, but infosec is going to have some concerns about data security and privacy.

   Possibly, but isn't the first question to be answered this: is it even possible to make a carbon capture device, period? Other than flora and fauna, I'm not sure that humankind has actually developed a net negative carbon capture
