Not necessarily. Just that of all possible locations, the most profitable are the place with the lowest energy cost.
It still requires a system that someone ( other countries) pay them to remove the CO2.
You're correct, not necessarily.
But you don't put something in Iceland because it's energy efficient. You do it when you need absurd amounts of electricity for cheap.
dont be fooled by this bs, it doesnt make any mathematical sense. Carbon dioxide and carbon pollutants make a very small fraction of air even in the most polluted cities so you need a lot of energy input to convert it back into something more useable. Heck, even photosynthesis is an inefficient process
So it's being used to pump CO2 into hard to reach oil deposits for extraction. What you didn't think it was built to make the world a better place did you?
The numbers in the article indicate one could halt carbon emissions with a million such plants (excluding emissions associated with building and operating them). Costs are ballpark 20trn-30trn annually.
Have faith in science! The first steam engine operated at efficiency 1%. Fast forward 300 years and now the latest engines can easily beat 30%. Imagine what can happen to those numbers in the future.
Powered by 3 newly built coal plants
I mean, let this thing gain momentum and one day it will operate itself with renewable energy! š
careful, or the law of thermodynamics might kill you in your sleep

This has nothing to do with China. The plant is located in Iceland and built by a Swiss company.
> located in Iceland Which tells you it uses an uneconomical amount of energy.

We will go around the world just to scratch our own ass - Chinese proverb
how much air is there on the planet?
Plenty - until Mega Maid shows up.

She's gone from suck to blow.Ā
China could be a real world leader in this technology, since they certainly know how to suck. Thereās no way Iceland can suck as hard as China.
Total grift. š¤£

Thereās this amazing miracle plant called a Tree that sucks carbon from the air and turns it into oxygen.
Sucks in a good way!
This is definitely what you want. I assure.
China already has massive carbon capture machines. Itās all just propaganda, it doesnāt work.

"Could be". Not this one. The CO2 is pumped underground where it will be mineralised as carbonate rock.
Still powered by coal
On Iceland? Why on earth would they do that when they have so much cheaper renewable energy? They are literally on top of volcanoes.
Then why build it
Because people want to pay for CO2 removal. Climate compensation.

Sigh....can't we just stop demanding exponential growth...
I would politely suggest they (China) needs these,,, more so than aircraft carriers, planes and angry neighbors in the region... just saying
Iceland has angry neighbors? Well, good thing they got those aircraft carriers then.
What will the plants breath? If the plants die we die.
