I just saw a post on Facebook about a supermarket whose shelves are low on pops and carbonated waters because of a CO² shortage. What’s to stop people from pulling CO² from the air and cleaning it of impurities to use it in the drink manufacturing process?
In: Chemistry
Capturing a tonne of CO2 from the air costs somewhere around $500-1000, although people hope to drop that to around $200 in the future. Cleaning it from other stuff not yet included. Getting it as waste product from other industrial processes is basically free, and the infrastructure for that exists already while the air capture stations would have to be built first. There are only a few research projects at the moment.
