Climeworks - Capturing CO2 from air

Climeworks is capturing CO2 from air with the world’s first commercial carbon removal technology. Our direct air capture plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere to supply to customers and to unlock a negative emissions future.
We built and operate the world’s first commercial direct air capture plant in Hinwil (Switzerland), removing 900 tonnes of CO2 from ambient air per year (as seen in the video). Our plants capture atmospheric carbon with a filter, using mainly low-grade heat as an energy source.
The pure CO2 gas is sold to our customers in key markets, including: commercial agriculture, food and beverage industries, the energy sector and the automotive industry. Customers utilise this atmospheric CO2 in carbonated drinks or for producing carbon-neutral hydrocarbon fuels and materials. By using Climeworks’ CO2, our customers can reduce their overall emissions as well as lowering their dependence on fossil energy. Our plants are modular, scalable and can be located independently of emission sources, allowing security of supply wherever there is atmospheric air.
Importantly, our plants can be utilised for negative emissions, which will be vital in the quest to limit a global temperature rise of 2 °C. Compared to other carbon removal technologies, direct air capture does not depend on arable land, has a small physical footprint, and is fully scalable.
Founded by engineers, Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher, Climeworks has assembled the largest team of experts in the field and developed high-quality testing and production facilities.
We’ll keep working to realize our mission to capture one percent of global emissions by 2025.

Amazing technology, and great symbiotic model with greenhouse... it'll be great to see 1000s of such plants in countries with larger carbon footprint... maybe few plants outside densely populated cities, or next to agricultural hub... Will this become an open source technology in future?

[@tarstarkusz]

This is likely a net CO2 production. This is why they are using someone else' waste heat and electricity. If they had to run from the grid, you would release more CO2 to generate the electricity to capture the CO2 with this equipment.

[@henrystephens9459]

This technology paired with Nuclear Thorium Molten Salt Reactor technology would would circumvent this problem.

[@xyzsame4081]

the extra energy is used for growing the plants. Else they would sell the gas to the beverage industry or to someone producing fuel. Of course removing the CO2 alltogether would cost extra money, resources, energy.

Thorium will likely not be available for energy production before 2075, if all goes well. Too far away

I have three questions: 1. How many months of operation does this plant take to capture the carbon from the carbon-energy equivalent energy that went into fabricating and constructing this plant? 2. How much carbon from carbon-equivalent energy does it take to operate this plant for a year? 3. Is its carbon-energy equivalent carbon consumption greater than the carbon it "captures", but if less, what is the net difference of the "captured" carbon vs. its annual carbon-energy equivalent carbon operational output.

[@maddognl]

Interesting, Does this technology require nitrogen to be present in the air? I was originally wondering if it was possible to filter CO2 from an almost 100% O2 atmosphere at ~0.4 bar without breaking it down so it could be moved to a greenhouse, which might be nice for a lunar colony or some such, and this could suggest it should be possible. Though I have no idea if similar technology could work on filtering the O2 out of the greenhouse.

[@WilliamJones-Halibut-vq1fs]

CO2 is an essential and therefore valuable raw material so long as it is concentrated and at the location it is needed. You can convert it to fuel, plastics, accelerate and increase greenhouse plant yields or inject it underground to flush out oil. Sure you can capture CO2 from a power station but it won't be near your oil well nor your dessert solar plant.

[@gbuz5789]

We must have carbon-based fuels at least until nuclear fission makes a comeback or nuclear fusion is developed and there is a worldwide power grid. These will not happen in my lifetime. Solar and wind power cannot meet our needs ever. They take too much space, they are unreliable, and take massive resources to build, repair and replace. If energy costs are near parity for carbon-capture technology, (micro-based fuel are similar to this technology), then it might make sense for limited use.

[@BrianD146]

Nuclear reactors are an excellent way to produce greenhouse gas free electricity and they could power these carbon scrubbers. New advances such as small modular reactors built on an assembly line and trucked out to sites around the globe that could be as common as a Walmart or a hospital. Truly enabling a local power grid coupled with wind and solar. Make no mistake that there are forces that want to make nuclear power so expensive that it's not viable. When you look at the worst case scenarios of Chernobyl and Fukushima you can see that nuclear power is truly not the boogeyman that people want to make it out to be, but rather the overreaction to an accident. I recommend podcasts such as Titans of Nuclear and lots of KZbin channels educating on how nuclear power works, including the economics. I would much rather live next door to a nuclear power plant than a coal or natural gas plant.

Trees could buy us some time as well. Instead of cutting down or burning down the rainforests for cheap wood, soy production, beef, or palm oil, or ethanol for cars - the latter is the CRAZY EU scheme) Trees store carbon easily for 100 or even a few hundred years. And when they are grown in the moderate climate zone they can be cut down, and removed from the ecosystem and used for heat (instead of fossil fuel). When a tree rots it releases the CO2 as well, with burning the release is just much quicker. Advantage of letting it rot: the biomass and the nutrients stay IN the system. and it provides a niche for animals, insects. They let the trees rot in natural parks. They are currently building multistorey buildings (up to 7 or 8 levels) using wood (well boards based on wood) - that would reduce the need for energy intensive concrete (cement is burnt at extremely high temperatures and the sand and rocks are heavy - heavier than wood). If buidling materials are recycled and separated when taken down (or there are devices that can do that), the wood can be reused or burnt. In Austria there is very strict recycling promoted for building materials. If separated (wood, pvc pipes, metall, glass, styrofoam) the costs to get rid of the rubble are moderate. But they make you pay a lot if you deliver the rubble mixed. So much that it warrants separation even with high labour costs. The concrete and brick materials can be reused for instance for the bed of streets. The energy used initially for producing brick and concrete is not lost. And the volume of such materials (and the weight) is high - so when those materials can be reused the landfills will not need to be expanded (there is a lot a caution regarding aquifers and landfills, and the country sells its beauty in tourism). Space and a clean environment is valuable.
