Quite amazing. #Climeworks began with #DAC in milligrams in 2009.
2017, the first plant sucked 900t/a.
2021: #DACS (s!) in Iceland does 4Kt/a and a new one in Iceland 36Kt/a by 2024.
By 2030, 1Mt/a is the goal. 1Gt by 2050. With renewable energy!!

1 single company! Imagine 100 companies....!

By 2025 'cost will probably be $500 / t #CO2.
By 2030, the cost will be around $300/t and in the mid 30s, the cost is projected to be about $200/t.'

Gotta rethink #DACS...🤔

Brilliant!

Now picture 1 single coal power plant and its annual emissions, say 1Mt?
If you want to remove its lifetime emissions since 1990 via #DACS, you need to build 1000🇨🇭 #Climeworks plants (while all machinery and transport means are burning fossil fuels?)
PLUS required electricity capacity,
and run these 1000 DACs factories for 30 years to capture it all from 1 single coal pp, 15 if only half.

Build another 1000 DACS🏭 for 1 batch of 1mio cars. 1bn are on global roads in 2020
