The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – which have grown rapidly in recent years.

    Gotta start somewhere I guess! Good luck to them and hopes things turn better and more efficient in the future.

      I wish them good luck when fighting the laws of thermodynamics.

            They are not doing some “reverse energy consumption” (which would break at least 1 law of TD if successful) so as long as they don’t emit more co2 than they capture there are net benefits.

            Common, it’s not that hard.

              So where is the energy for capture and injection coming from?

              Why are they unable to even negate their own footprint?

    It’s still more efficient than AI (and it seems world leader pretend to believe that AI will solve climate change 🤷‍♂️)

    who would have thought…? their main selling point was: we can suck in as much air as a medium-sized forest. no more, no less
