California’s first carbon capture project gets OK from Kern County

California’s first carbon capture project gets OK from Kern County

Use of direct air capture technology is seen as one of the more promising ways to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to help limit global warming and avoid the dire consequences of climate change. Recently reported advances in the technology may enable it to be more effective in cooling the Earth by enhancing its abilities to sequester atmospheric carbon, says Klaus Lackner, a professor in the Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and director of ASU’s Center for Negative Carbon Emissions. Lackner explains what’s needed to deploy carbon capture systems at sufficiently effective levels. (A subscription or one-time access pass may be required to access the article.)
