Factory sucks CO2 from the air and turns it to rock
The Icelandic plant enterprise sucks carbon dioxide from the air using technology that mimics, in accelerated format, a natural process that can take hundreds of thousands of years.
At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is sucking carbon dioxide from the air and turning it to rock, locking away the main culprit behind global warming.
Orca, based on the Icelandic word for “energy,” does its cutting-edge work at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant in southwest Iceland.
It is the world’s largest plant using the direct air capture technology (DAC) increasingly lighting up the imagination as the world struggles to avert catastrophic global warming.
