Orca, the largest direct-air carbon capture facility, started operations in Iceland.
About:
It will pull CO2 from the air and trap it in the ground. It will do this at the rate of 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, which is the amount the world would release in four seconds.
Direct air capture is one of the few technologies extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is viewed by scientists as vital to limit global warming, blamed for causing more heatwaves, wildfires, floods and rising sea levels.
Direct air capture is still a fledgling and costly technology, but developers hope to drive down prices by scaling up as more companies and consumers look to reduce their carbon footprint.
