"Revolutionary Air Pollution Scrubbing Method Unveiled by Scientists"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Cool Down
Scientists at The Ohio State University have developed a new method, called Direct Air CO2 Capture with CO2 Utilization and Storage (DACCUS), which combines direct air carbon dioxide capture (DACC) technologies with geothermal energy to create large-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage systems. The process isolates captured carbon into deep saline aquifers, using the geologic formations to produce renewable energy for DACC systems. The team believes their system could be operational by 2025 and start removing carbon by 2030, with up to 25 DACCUS systems operating in the Gulf Coast by 2050.
