Talal Hasan, founder and CEO of carbon elimination company 44.01, talks net-zero targets and what it’s like working with a Bill Gates venture.
This is awesome. The article should specify that a gigaton is a billion tons, just to more accurately portray the roadmap of the company, but the process itself sounds straightforward and forward-thinking.
Really just a drop in the bucket. We’d have to capture some 500 billion tons of CO2 to get the volume comparable to what we had in the 90s. So this number is going to have to go way the fuck up if it actually wants to do anything meaningful. Especially because we keep increasing the amount of CO2 we’re putting into the atmosphere.
It’s definitely not the only solution, assuming everything here’s accurate. It’s a start but there’s so much that needs to be done.
Sooo… just another capitalist non-solution bankrolled by one of the very same capitalists that got us into this mess.
Yawn.
