CO2 capture: tech demo
50 billion tonnes of CO2 is added to the atmosphere every year by human activity. Think about this simple idea – capture this CO2 at point-of-emissions and put it away so that it is not added to the atmosphere; it is also possible to suck CO2 directly out of atmosphere. These technologies can stop and reverse the effects of climate change due to global warming. CO2 capture is a simple idea but not easy to do. Why? It takes energy and special materials to capture CO2. The energy needed right now is too high and the special materials are nasty. This tech demo is a starting point to reduce energy and find nice materials to make this idea work at scale. Walk in to find out how this works and get inspired to innovate to make this idea a reality.
