CARBON CAPTURE
“ We wish things had been sorted out 30 years ago,” Nick says.“ There is no other way to deal with the amount of carbon in the atmosphere alongside all the other systems that have been proposed. So DAC just has to be built.”
Mission Zero has partnered with visionary investors and organisations who share the belief of creating a better future. These partnerships have provided crucial funding and support, enabling Mission Zero to accelerate the development and deployment of its technology.
Does carbon deserve its bad reputation?“ Carbon has this bad reputation now because most of the carbon economy comes from fossil fuels,” Nick explains.
“ But actually, carbon is the thing that closes houses, feeds us, moves us around. Carbon is the backbone of what has made the human condition better every single year. The issue here is not that carbon is bad itself, it’ s where we get carbon is the issue. What we want to do is enable a new sustainable source of carbon within society.
“ We’ ve known how to turn CO₂ into basically every product we need, including building materials, plastics, chemicals, fuels, vodka and yoga mats for years. It’ s just you can’ t get the CO₂. The CO₂ supply chain is the actual problem that’ s limiting the growth of those technologies. If you actually have a cheap abundance source of CO₂, these technologies can start to replace fossil fuel source carbon or economy.
