Key 'step forward' in cutting cost of removing CO2 from air
By Matt McGrath
A Canadian company, backed by Bill Gates, says it has reached an important threshold in developing technology that can remove CO2 from the air.
Carbon Engineering has published a peer-reviewed study showing that they can capture carbon for under $100 a tonne.
This would be a major advance on the current price of around $600 per tonne.
The company says their immediate goal is to produce synthetic liquid fuels made from carbon and renewable energy.
