The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – which have grown rapidly in recent years.
I said fighting against the laws of thermodynamics.
Look at entropy in Direct Air Capture in https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsengineeringau.2c00043
What is missing in above is renewable energy infrastructure capable of rebuilding itself, rebuilding the DAC infrastructure and also powering it, and also provide enough surplus for infrastructure growth, using only non-fossil input.
You might find replicating fully autopoietic biological photosynthesis a remarkably hard task.
Well, lots of interesting information here, and hopefully they’ll use better tech, more renewable energy and so on!
But you don’t “fight” the laws of therodynamics (they are immutable), wich lead me (from your comment) to think that you thought that they cannot be carbon negative, because that would break one if the TD laws. If that’s what you think, then I can explain why you are wrong, but if I was wrong, then we’re on the same boat where they will have a hard time doing what they want (but it’s not theiretically impossible).
I was trying to make you think but failed.
You’re just sealioning lol.
My bad. I thought I was just providing leading questions. Oh, well.
Explain why it would break a TD law if you’re serious (it doesn’t but I don’t understand why you think it would).
