Using Technology to Clean the Air
In preventive maintenance and global warming I mentioned using/ creating technology to combat the effects of the industrial revolution.
Sure I am all for planting more trees, bushes, grasses, plants…
Heck if we could use the Interstate Water Distribution System to irrigate and feed the new plants.
But that isn’t the point- back to technology and CO2.
June 2010 Scientific American has an article titled “Washing Carbon Out of the Air”-
> Machines with filters made from sorbent materials can bind carbon dioxide, extracting it from the air.
> With mass production, machines might capture CO2 at $30 a ton, less than the $100 or more charged for commercial CO2 supply.
> With improved sorbents, 10 million machines across the planet could reduce CO2 concentration by five parts per million a year, more than the rate of global increase right now.
The article says there are several teams working on prototype machines.
Coming to cities and industrial areas around the world- more jobs!!!!
