Carbon capture technology like the MechanicalTree system developed by Fulton Schools Professor Klaus Lackner and his team at ASU’s Center for Negative Carbon Emissions is viewed as one of the most promising tools for halting global warming that threatens the world’s environmental health and sustainability. An interview with the CEO of Carbon Collect, one of the more prominent companies stepping into the fledgling carbon capture industry, looks at the economic, engineering and governmental regulatory challenges of deploying MechanicalTree systems in ways the will maximize their effectiveness in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while also managing costs and providing incentives for long-established sectors of industry to join efforts to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions or mitigate their harmful impacts.
