Just google greenwashing. They will get the energy they need and eventually cancel the carbon capture.

If Google cared about the liveablity of the planet for their future users, it would aggressively support R&D for novel CCS technologies... they need to stop supporting technologies that have a long history of failure.

Broadwing uses waste heat to regenerate their amine solution. They will get the power they need and eventually cancel the co2 capture goals when they declare "The technology works, but its not cost effective".
Until then they can promote their efforts as being responsible. GREENWASHING!

This is more Google greenwashing. Always talking about the future with little focus on right now.
Broadwing is capturing co2 from the combustion flue gas using "tried and failed" technologies that have not succeeded over the past 40 years.

I am working with AI to develop a universal, energy-efficient, and cost effective co2 capture technology.
Money and thermodynamic common sense can provide future generations a more liveable planet.

The current generation of co2 capture technologies are best described as thermodynamic idiocy. They are energy intensive and cannot be fixed.
CO2 capture technologies based on thermodynamic common sense are possible. This is demonstrated in the biological domain.

Current CO₂ capture (DAC and CCS) is a monument to thermodynamic idiocy. If we were serious about saving the planet, we'd stop wasting energy on these half-measures and embrace pathways achieving thermodynamic common sense.

A good point, but not always true. A biological pattern, membrane absorption, allows airborne particles to bypass the capture process.

Absolutely. This is required to reverse the CO2 that has/is being added to the air. This is required to reduce ocean acidification.

Google, along with the rest of the AI industry joins the fossil fuel industry declaring "A habitable planet is not a part of the business plan!"
Their message is clear. Adapt to die to a warming planet featuring more and more burning, boiling, baking, broiling, and bleaching.

Great work. AI is still constrained by its training data. This example cites the energy efficiency of moisture swing, but then cites 1.5 kWh/kg which is 5.4 gj /ton. Also focus on the total energy to durably sequester the co2. Integrate your device with solar panels.

Yes, it tells us that their attempts to use low grade heat to drive their chemical process has significant challenges. They have been developing their process for 16 years.
Perhaps its time for a fundamentally better co2 capture technology?
Or not. We have plenty of time.

Whatever its called, removing co2 from the air via seawater, is less effective and more problematic than DAC.

Recently, I started calling it coastal carbon removal. These technologies operate on the shore and change the chemistry of seawater where biological activity and diversity is highest. These coastal waters are heavily regulated because they are delicate and important.

I think highly off that approach. Cyanobacteria shows how energy-efficient co2 management can happen. Molecular biology is the key.

I am strongly in favor of CDR, but today's technologies are awful.
Read my essays and understand the thermodynamics of co2 capture. In this way, you can be a part of the solution. yes, you!
Right now organizations are prioritizing profits over solutions.

Universities didn't study biological processes for co2 capture machines, but I have. Dramatically better co2 capture is possible, but there is no support for disruptive innovation.
