The world’s largest factory to capture carbon dioxide from the air has begun operations in Iceland. Reducing the amount of CO₂ in the Earth’s atmosphere would help reduce the effects of climate change.
It showcases a developing technology considered by some to be an important tool in the fight against climate change but sceptics question how much impact it can really have.
Is it a futuristic vision of how to save the planet from runaway climate change, or a futile expense that distracts from the urgency of slashing co2 emissions?
According to the companies that constructed the plant, Climeworks and Carbfix, when operating at capacity the plant will draw 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the air every year.

if we can plant it in every city or country.it will be a affect
The weather control fantasy is getting a little out of hand
That's gonna do fuck all!
I think I read that it will have to operate for years to get 3 seconds worth of emissions.
Water vapor is now pollution lol.
Imagine using this tech to clean the air right from the source and making it a law.
Why don’t they hook the co2 scrubber directly to a power plant?
This is a very Expensive solution to an extreme problem…
Honestly, this plant is only good for towns and villages across the world who may or may not have factories which produce CO2. If all that its doing is taking it and cleaning it out and sputting it back then its wayyyyy toooooo slow for the amount that we as a whole planet is producing… might as well just plant some trees and wait till they spread… this is a waste of money and those who r pushing for funding for technology from their Govt are about 20 years late to the environmental game…
In a city like Mumbai, Karachi, Hong Kong, The U.A.E and some middle Eastern Countries who r pumping out oil for the world, and most populated African cities. Just for these alone they will need hundreds if not 1000s of these little factories which is counter productive to what we as humans need to be doing… work smarter not harder ppl…
Too bad it's too late.
So what are the costs ? Couldn’t they just build a giant o mega one ? Like the size of a small country ?
100% nonsense
People don't realize we need carbon dioxide as this is the oxygen for plants, trees, flowers which they emit during the day. Plant clean the air we breath and release clean oxygen during the night so this is scary stuff. Read your biology people! This is NOT GOOD!
You need to fund the technologies to bring the cost down and increase efficiency over time.
There’s no money in ecosystem restoration – which would do a lot to help reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. You can’t patent a wetland, temperate and tropical rainforest, boreal forest, arctic tundra, etc. So don’t think for a second this system is seeking to undo the wrongs over the last 40-50 years (especially) because of a primary concern for humanity and biodiversity on earth. It’s doing it because there is lots of money to be made
sssssucked that shit out the air, sent it to the depths
It's so expensive because it's new tech, we need to invest in this new tech now while it expensive in anchorage production lines and costs can be reduced in the future. The same thing happened with solar panels.
Plant a lot of trees. Don’t cut a lot of trees. Problem solved. But it’s easy said than done. Business is thicker than nature.
We dug it up and now we're putting it back in the ground
I've been to Iceland, it's one of the greenest, cleanest, most beautiful places on Earth. Why wouldn't they build a plant in China where the real problem is I wonder?
They make this?
The guys who say wind turbine and solar is one again a illuminaty of fake ecology….
What a usuless…
Go build nuclear (not in island, usuless) and shut down coal and gaz
The question is how much this must run to suck all the co2 use to build it?
Great so we can keep using gasoline cars
Now this is actually good news
Well that sucks.
I don't think we should be investing more on capturing CO2 than not letting it out in the first place. And if we can't, Wouldn't it me way efficient to suck the carbon up directly from the factories than thin air, it will save a lot of power and time.
You see the ppl that own the factories is trapped in the demons arms can't do anything about it they goal is to open the world by heating it up to get hell out from underneath and bring hell to the ground
the bbc are idiots
Put such a plant beside every coal-fired thermal power plant.
Just plant treed
The butthole that said this is a waste of time at the end is clearly in solar powers / windpowers pocket. This is the first generation of something like this and we're gonna need anything we can get. But that ONE guy can shape the minds of millions of people. Twisted media no real answer just be happy that people have created this.
