They made a sponge-based system that filters out CO2 from the air and releases clean oxygen. The system has been made in a smaller-scale unit, that can momentarily capture only less than 100kg of CO2 per day, […]

The hydrogen is used in a fuel cell, and the CO2 is collected and recycled. Now, I know my website’s name is “greenoptimistic.com”, but this […]

The "air extraction" prototype has successfully demonstrated that indeed carbon dioxide (CO2) can be captured from the atmosphere. This is GRT's first step toward a commercially viable air capture device.
