excellent interview great work guys fascinating stuff on a side note why don't you do a follow-up with the air conditioning condenser cleaning guy you did a while ago that was also great stuff since you mentioned doing the follow-up with this guy in a year why not do a follow up with that guy now thanks good luck God bless

Key metrics: How much energy used and CO2 produced to make/mine and transport the potassium hydroxide etc. per unit CO2 sequestered? What is the total available market for potassium carbonate? At what point would this business produce more potassium carbonate than the market can use?

@@danielch6662 They are talking KOH, not NaOH. Wikipedia says it is formed from KCl (2 KCl + 2 H2O → 2 KOH + Cl2 + H2). No wonder their device gets hot. There's been a bunch of energy put into making the KOH. Unless this energy is made from wind or sun, this is just burning fossils in a different place.

They could hook up this process to breweries or wineries which produce CO2 as part of the fermentation process. There is also bio-bitumen that has used small particles of Sargasso seaweed a an ingredient. Seaweed is mostly made from carbon.

No it doesn't work. Like he says, his machine is designed for really high CO2 concentration. Like above 40,000 ppm. Like what comes out of a burner/heater. If you want to pump environmental air through the machine, he would sell you a machine and humour you, but the CO2 from the electric power generation to turn the fans that push the air through the machine would be MORE than the CO2 recovered by the machine.

Totally agree that hydrogen is the easiest way to leverage existing infrastructure towards zero carbon. But it’s non trivial, and needs Government action to make it happen.

How does Hydrogen move us towards zero carbon? For every 10 units of energy you put in, you only get 2-3 out. . Here's where you say "but use green energy" Fine.... When the grid is 100% green. But it's not. So if you take 10 units of Green energy, you have to replace that, but you don't have a green replacement so you use fossil fuel. You've taken 10 green. Produced 3 indirect "light green" And added back 10 "fossil". . You *increased* the fossil component of the grid! . Even if you build "10" *new* green sources, the same applies, they have the potential to remove "10 fossil units" but you only remove 3.

One industry where Hydrogen would make sense would be aviation. If flying routes above the deserts were powered by hydrogen, the water vapor that would be the exhaust might increase the amount of rain over the area.

Lost all credibility for me by saying hydrogen will be less expensive than heat pumps. We have MW-size heat pumps here in Europe running for decades. He should have just said his solution is a quick and cost-effective retrofit that will solve the challenge here and now but as buildings and their heating systems are renovated electrification does make sense. Hydrogen also has terrible volumetric density and hydrogen needs to be made from electrons anyway. So his argument all round was disappointing even though I love the elegance of the carbon capture solution.
