How much CO2 is released by building the plant and it's materials and how long will it take to recover that? Honest wuesy as none of the various DAC companies offer any numbers on that subject.


Good question. This all depends on the scope of emissions you are looking at - only our emissions or also the emissions of the companies who manufactured various components for us. However, either way, our next plant will be capturing far more co2 than emitted during manufacture.


Of course, including the CO2 released by the companies manufacturing the components. After all, CO2 release should be fully accounted for. Capturing "far more" - how much exactly is it then?
