Mechanical Trees For Cleaner Environment
New Tech to Cut, Capture & Reuse CO2
A Start to Reducing Climate Change
A team at Arizona State University have developed what they call mechanical trees. Each tree is a column containing stacked disks of absorbent materials that pull in and capture carbon dioxide from the air. The CO2 goes into a container for reuse and the discs are then redeployed.
Potentially Game-changing Tech
12 trees are capable of removing one metric ton of carbon dioxide every day for less than $100 per ton. That is the lowest cost of CO2 removal in the industry. It's a big advantage for this new developing technology.
US Deployment
A Dublin based start-up, Silicon Kingdom Holdings, founded by an ASU professor, plans to erect mechanical trees in the US. This may be the world's biggest direct air system to date to collect and reuse CO2. Carbon dioxide is cited as the main cause for climate change in the earth's atmosphere. The ASU team has tested the system for the past two years in Arizona. They now plan to erect 1200 mechanical trees in the US over the next year. They say the trees will eliminate 8000 cars worth of CO2 per year. They add they're ready to commercialize the system.
