Carbon Capture Technologies

[Leonardo17]

    At the state in which thing are in the present moment, this is mainly understood as a very promising technology for the future at best and a technique of greenwashing that is being used by big oil companies at worst.
 
    Island has some direct carbon-capture plants that are working on geothermal energy in which the carbon captured from the air is than sold to major industries. Norway is even buying carbon in liquid form and is injecting it back into deep wells into the soil. The problem is that we would need several hundreds of thousands of such carbon capture plants to create any significant change.
 
   But the technology is still very useful in other areas. In cement production, for instance, this technology will allow to reduce carbon emissions by 50%.
 
    And in Singapore they had another idea. They built a 2 million dollar plant that removes carbon from sea water. There is 150 times more carbon in sea water than in the air. Once you remove the carbon from sea water, that sea water is going to such even more carbon from the atmosphere:

   So this might be one of these several solutions that need to be applied all at once if we are to remain here instead of moving to places like Mars
