Our Thoughts
Although the need to achieve virtually zero CO₂ emissions by 2050 is being called for, people's behavioral change has not kept pace, and CO₂ emissions will continue. It is assumed that we will face a climate crisis in which climate disasters such as tornadoes, heat waves, and floods will occur in a domino-style pattern.
As a trump card to avoid such a situation, Direct Air Capture (DAC), which captures CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, is attracting attention as a CO₂ negative emission technology (= a technology that results in negative net CO2 emissions through the process), and technology development is underway worldwide. However, the atmospheric CO
However, the technology is still in its infancy due to the extremely low concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere (0.04%), the limited amount recovered, and a recovery cost of nearly $1,000/t-CO2, so innovation is needed. In addition, recycling DAC-derived CO₂ in the production of synthetic fuels to replace fossil fuels can contribute to the realization of zero emissions.
We at Planet Savers are developing a DAC device that captures CO₂ from the atmosphere using an innovative adsorbent based on zeolite, an inorganic porous material, in order to realize DAC at a practically feasible cost level and save the world from climate change, thereby contributing to achieving virtually zero CO2 emissions.
In 2050, 1 gigaton of CO2 will be captured by our device, protecting the beautiful earth for another 100 years.
