Carbon capturing is a recent method many companies are attempting to use to swiftly remove carbon from the atmosphere. However, no companies have been able to succeed in this goal until now. The company, Carbon Clean has created what many call “The Environmentally Friendly Vacuum.” The vacuum works to remove carbon emissions from sources harder to decarbonize, for example, cement and steel production. The vacuum works by removing emissions during the process of making those materials, capturing the carbon, and pushing it far underground, prohibiting it from polluting the environment. The carbon that is captured can also be reused and currently Carbon Clean is much cheaper to use per ton of carbon captured than its predecessors, costing only 30 USD. This tech is being used around the world “including the UK, US, Japan, Germany, India, Norway, and the Netherlands”. Casting a positive light on the future of removing carbon.

The innovation explained in the article highlights one of many ways environmentally friendly technology can be helpful in our fight against climate change. The article has made me understand how important cheap affordable environmentally friendly technology really is. In the article it mentions how the Carbon Clean costs half the price of the EU’s carbon reduction price per ton, dropping from 60 USD to 30 USD. The carbon clean is also much more easier to implement, being “10 times smaller than the industry standard.” Ultimately, the carbon clean is a great piece of environmentally friendly technology, and has made me realize how important stopping carbon from its source really is in our fight to achieve carbon net zero emissions.
