Sky-High Carbon Removal Showdown: Climeworks Gen 2 vs. Heirloom Limestone vs. Carbon Engineering’s AIR2 DAC

Sky-High Carbon Removal Showdown: Climeworks Gen 2 vs. Heirloom Limestone vs. Carbon Engineering’s AIR2 DAC

Climeworks’ Generation 2 DAC uses modular solid-sorbent containers; the Orca plant in Iceland has operated since 2021 at 4,000 t/yr, and Mammoth is designed for 36,000 t/yr (72 modules), though by May 2024 only 12 modules were online and capture was ~100 t. Gen3, unveiled in 2024, doubles CO₂ capture per module and cuts energy use by about 50%, with the first Gen3 deployment at the Project Cypress megaton-scale DAC hub in Louisiana planned for 2029 to reach 1,000,000 t/yr and a target cost of $250–$350/ton by 2030.

Green Energy Goldmine: How to Profit from the Renewable Revolution

Green Energy Goldmine: How to Profit from the Renewable Revolution

In 2024, global clean energy investment was projected to reach $2 trillion, nearly twice the amount spent on fossil fuels. Renewable power, grid upgrades, and storage now attract more capital than oil, gas, and coal combined. Renewable energy jobs jumped to 16.2 million in 2023, up 18% from 2022. Solar PV module prices have fallen about 85% since 2010, making solar cheaper than new coal or gas in many countries. Solar investment is projected to exceed $500 billion in 2024, more than all other power generation sources combined. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 dedicates $369 billion to
