The building, called Mammoth and touted as the largest building in its category, was put into operation for the first time. Mammoth’s aim is to clean carbon from the atmosphere.
Swiss company Climeworks announced that it has put into operation the giant structure called Mammoth, which it built in Iceland. This structure prevent environmental problems It was built to collect carbon released into the atmosphere. The collected carbon is buried deep in the soil.
There is a very logical reason why the facility was established in Iceland: The energy required for the operation of the facility is the energy of the island country. with geothermal energy will be met. Thus, it will be possible to demonstrate a more effective performance in the fight against the carbon problem in the atmosphere.
Scavenging carbon in the shadow of controversy
The facility, which has a giant vacuum cleaner as its operating logic, direct air capture (DAC) It became the largest of the facilities named. The operating logic of the facility is quite simple: draw in the air from outside, separate the carbon in it and send it deep into the soil, and release carbon-free air. On the other hand, discussions about GDR structures continue among experts. While some experts argue that this system is beneficial, other experts think that it distracts us from the main reasons.
Even if we leave the debates aside, there are reservations about how efficient these facilities are – at least for now. When Mammoth operates at full capacity for a year, it can remove 36 thousand tons of carbon from the atmosphere. This also has a conventional engine 7,800 cars carbon to release It coincides. It is also stated that the carbon cleaning process costs 1000 dollars per ton. It is stated that this figure must be below 100 dollars for the facility to be feasible.
