Co2 has been catched:
Now, nine years later, and the duo's first commercial CO2 extraction plant sits on top of a waste utilisation plant in view of Meier brothers' greenhouses 400 metres away."Since our first visit here we managed to upgrade the capacity from a few millilitres per day in the lab to an industrial scale of 900 tonnes per year," said Gebald.Eighteen Climeworks CO2 collectors are installed on top of the roof of the waste utilisation plant, which is run by Swiss municipal waste disposal company KEZO. The collectors capture 2460 kilograms of CO2 per day (depending on factors such as weather conditions and air composition).
"The fans on the outside serve to suck in the ambient air," Gebald explained. Inside each collector unit, the air goes through a process of adsorption and desorption before being blown out again with reduced CO2 content."Our filters are saturated with CO2 within a few hours," Gebald continues.To ensure the process of desorption, the saturated filter is heated up to about 100 degrees Celsius."For this we use the waste heat from KEZO, making our process particularly resource friendly," Gebald said. The pure CO2 gas is then isolated and transferred to Gebrüder Meier's greenhouses via gas pipeline.
The Hinwil plant will operate as a three-year demonstration project in co-operation with the partners Gebrüder Meier and KEZO, and with a contribution towards non-amortisable costs by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE).
To date, carbon capture and storage systems that reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere have usually been applied within power plants at sources where CO2 is concentrated. The CO2 is transported to a storage site, and deposited where it will not enter the atmosphere.
Extracting CO2 from the air was known to be possible, but considered not very practical because of the lower levels of CO2 concentration.
They respect the nature so they are implementing these types of machines, I think this is the most useful and helpful gadget in our present world,Not only for humans it was also for the beautiful Nature.
RESPECT THE NATURE
ENJOY THE NATURE..
