☆ The first US commercial plant has started to pull carbon from the air. It's able to suck out 1,000 tons annually and plans to expand.

JENN CAIN/Getty ImagesHeirloom uses direct air capture technology, which essentially means that its product is able to suck free carbon dioxide out of the air, according to its website. The captured carbon dioxide gets packed into concrete or injected into the ground, where Heirloom said it's held permanently. Why they made this tech in the first placeExcess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat and warms the planet. Carbon capture is not a cure for climate changeUsing carbon capture alone won't be a cure-all for our climate woes.

☆ Test proves that CO2 sucked from the air can be trapped in concrete
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
To do that, two things are needed: first, capturing carbon dioxide with nature or technology, and second, locking it up for centuries. The rock is then heated to release the collected ambient carbon dioxide, and the cycle repeats. Canada's CarbonCure, the concrete technology company, mixes CO2 with concrete ingredients, turning it into a mineral that strengthens the concrete, cutting the need for cement — the part of concrete with the biggest carbon footprint. The U.S. government and industry broadly see $100-a-tonne carbon dioxide as a reasonable price for broad deployment. However, concrete's ubiquity is attractive, because there are few places to securely hold carbon dioxide at present.
☆ Microsoft-backed start-up Heirloom uses limestone to capture CO2

California-based startup Heirloom has a different approach: using limestone to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. Heirloom removes that CO2 by heating the limestone into a powder and stores the extracted CO2 underground. Heirloom spread that powder out on trays, with a robot determining location for maximum CO2 absorption. "We basically just give super powers to limestone to pull a lot more CO2 much, much faster," said Samala. Heirloom says it plans to deploy its first site next year and aims to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 by 2035.
