Every effort has been made to reduce CO2 emissions around the world, including the promotion of electric vehicles and renewable clean energy. However, companies have different ideas to contribute to the improvement of the environment, that is, set up a big fan to draw in air, and take the initiative to directly exclude the carbon dioxide in the air and transform it into a plant nutrient! According to foreign media, Climeworks launched a large fan and filter to carry out carbon dioxide absorption business in Zurich, Switzerland, and sell purified fresh air locally. This carbon-absorbing plant began operation on May 31st and is the world's first commercial carbon-absorbing plant. Climeworks' "carbon-absorbing machine" is equipped with a large fan. After the air enters, carbon dioxide is adsorbed on the filter containing amine. When the filter reaches saturation after 2-3 hours, the carbon dioxide collection process starts. The filter is heated to a high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, allowing the carbon dioxide to become a high-purity gas. Then, the released carbon dioxide can be directly sold or processed. The filtered air without carbon dioxide will be discharged into the ambient air again. According to reports, there are only 20 years left for the world to reach the goal of reducing the average temperature of the Earth by 2 degrees in the Paris climate agreement. In addition to reducing human carbon emissions, we also need to cultivate large areas of forest vegetation or provide updated technical support, as well as direct carbon absorption from the air. Planting forests requires large areas of land and a lot of time, and the carbon-absorbing industry may be able to meet current needs.
