This is a story about a promising device to extract carbon from the air and prepare it for easy sequestation.
It would be great if this technology worked flawlessly, though it will no doubt take some time to develop (time we likely don't have). As far as R&D funds go, we would be best to cover our arses setting up renewables plants for our energy production followed by reducing the amount of coal we burn. THEN we are in a safer position to expend the effort, R&D dollars and how ever long we like on developing such Carbon Dioxide exraction technologies.
Global Research Technologies, LLC (GRT), a technology research and development company, and Klaus Lackner from Columbia University have achieved the successful demonstration of a bold new technology to capture carbon from the air. The "air extraction" prototype has successfully demonstrated that indeed carbon dioxide (CO2) can be captured from the atmosphere. This is GRT’s first step toward a commercially viable air capture device.
