The world’s largest carbon direct air capture facility has started construction in Iceland, run by Swiss startup Climeworks AG. When construction finishes in 18-24 months, their facility, named “Mammoth,” will be able to remove 36,000 tons of CO2 from the air per year – which is.0001% 0001% appeared first on Electrek.

The Swiss company Climeworks is building the world’s largest direct air capture (DAC) and storage facility for converting atmospheric CO 2 to rock in Iceland. The facility will filter 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air and mineralize it underground. The carbon dioxide is thus permanently removed from the atmosphere.

Because of their chemical makeup, when the rocks are exposed to carbon dioxide, they react to form common limestone and chalk in a process called mineral carbonation. Earth Institute scientists are experimenting with ways to speed the natural process of mineral carbonation for use in carbon sequestration.
