The air we breathe has a carbon problem. But in Hellisheidi, Iceland, a geothermally active plateau just outside of Reykjavik, a new technology is taking a small but mighty step toward fixing it.

counterpoint: you're lucky enough experiencing a literal once in an entire species lifespan event. a geological lifespan event even condensed to mere mortal generation. think of how many irish mud farmers gave birth and died for several hundreds of years without much happening.

it's honestly incredible, just insanely fascinating at so many levels. like you're inside the Sistine chapel and it's on fire, and sure the doors are locked, but hot drat the color of the flames as it ripples through the ceiling is incredible revealing all the Michelangelo layering

quote:

A bigger plant is already in the works, according to Wurzbacher, though the location has not yet been determined. It will be ten times larger than the Orca plant, so there will be 80 shipping container-sized collectors, instead of just eight, capturing 40,000 tons of CO2 per year.
:nice:

quote:

“It’s relatively simple climate math,” Wurzbacher explained on a video call from Zurich, Switzerland, where Climeworks is based. “By mid-century, we need to remove 10 billion tons of CO2, if everything else goes well. We might end up needing to remove 20 billion tons, because we can’t ramp down fast enough coal power plants and other stuff.”

5000 of these seems doable with a good deal of effort. the larger subway networks of the world, like Moscow and NYC, can have 200-400 stops and I guess these are about the size of one station. hopefully of similar or lesser complexity. if that’s all we would need it’s not so bad, right?
