Given our growing population and the destruction of #forests, #farmland, ... for so-called "Renewable Energy", are we certain that this #CO2 is not needed for #Earth's flora - to increase both our #food and #oxygen supplies? Do we really want to lock large amounts of carbon dioxide away FOREVER??? I do NOT want this sort of "air cleaning" !!! Massimo @ Rainmaker1973 X Iceland switched on the biggest air-cleaning machine on Earth. In May 2024, a facility called Mammoth began operations in Iceland. Built by Swiss company Climeworks, it’s designed to remove up to 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year – 10 times more than its predecessor, Orca. The process is called direct air capture (DAC). Giant fans pull in ambient air, and specialized filters trap CO₂ molecules. That CO₂ is then mixed with water and pumped deep underground into basalt rock formations, where it slowly turns into solid stone through a natural mineralization process. And it’s all powered by Iceland’s geothermal energy, meaning the entire system runs on clean, renewable power. The captured CO₂ is stored by Climeworks’ partner, Carbfix, which developed the underground injection method. Over time, the gas reacts with the rock and becomes part of the Earth – locked away for good.
