Love seeing solutions like this though it often feels like some of us are bailing water at one end of the boat while others are actively drilling holes at the other

We need an all of the above approach to climate change. There are some sources that will take a long time to decarbonize, at some level we’ll need carbon capture as one piece of the puzzle.

It’s kind of like The Ocean Cleanup. Yeah there’s way more plastic going in and reducing that should should be first priority, but at some point we have to take some out as well and it’s worth figuring out how to do it at scale

Especially if you can keep it running with wave, solar, wind power. Autonomous is even better. Schedule them for maintenance runs and garbage collection.

That’s sadly hardly a solution. There’s exactly one solution: don’t use carbon based energy production. „Capturing“ and binding the carbon again will always use significant more energy than oxidizing brought us in the first place. We can’t evade the law of conservation of energy.
