Singapore would be the place where removal of 110,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year (equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of more than 25,000 individuals) could become reality. Can't grasp the idea of one metric ton of #carbondioxide? Imagine a cube with the height, width and length each slightly more than 8 metres. (That's about the height of the famous Merlion statue overseeing the Marina Bay Area.) Now multiply the size of that cube by 10. That's how much space it would take to store 10 metric tons of #CO2. 🤔 When fully completed at PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency research and development facility in Tuas, the Equatic-1 by Equatic.tech will be able to remove 10 metric tons of carbon dioxide per day from seawater and the atmosphere. Not only that, this #innovative facility couples Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) with hydrogen production, introducing a groundbreaking approach to generate Carbon-Negative Hydrogen. The CO2 mineralization process converts dissolved and atmospheric carbon dioxide into the form of solid calcium and magnesium-based materials for at least 10,000 years 𝙒𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙖 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚! Equatic plans to launch a commercial plant designed to capture nearly 110,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year — equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of more than 25,000 individuals. Kudos to this breakthrough offering of a #sustainable solution to our climate crisis! https://lnkd.in/g2quP86k
