The machine is built around a sponge-like substance.
A solar-powered machine capable of sucking CO2 from the atmosphere could help us alleviate some of our climate woes. And good news is that it just secured a $700,000 contract to capture and store carbon in Australia,The technology was developed by a carbon dioxide capture company called AspiraDAC, with its first customer, global financial infrastructure company Stripe, aiming to install it this year.
Stripe purchased the system through Frontier, a partnership between Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, and McKinsey. In case you missed it, FrontierMeanwhile, AspiraDAC will deploy roughly 180 of the machines to capture and store 500 tonnes of CO2 by 2027 at an agreed-upon $1,000 per tonne.The first generation product was developed in collaboration with the University of Sydney. It will be followed by a second generation unit made utilizing additive manufacturing processes.
When it comes to the engineering, the machine is built around a sponge-like substance produced at the University of Sydney that traps CO2 molecules when air travels through it. Fans suck air into sponge-filled canisters, and heat is used to extract pure CO2 that . And the best part is that the solar panels that cover the units like an A-frame tent provide all of the power.The corporation has not confirmed the site's location or geological storage, but it's known that depleting oil and gas reservoirs in Moomba, South Australia, are being considered.
