And as a method to significantly reduce the carbon intensity of concrete, the most widely used building material on earth?

Especially if you can keep it running with wave, solar, wind power. Autonomous is even better. Schedule them for maintenance runs and garbage collection.

Here in New Zealand there is a major CO2 shortage which has effected the large breweries ability to make beer. Please send your CO2

This is capturing the air that comes directly out of the concrete plant. The production of concrete generates quite a bit of co2 so presumably this is actually solving the problem that making cement previously caused. Potentially anyway, we’ll see how this goes.

Not sure you're aware of this but there are no morphologically accurate Barbie dolls.

Both carbon capture and sequestration and something like direct air capture are going to be needed to reduce emissions and CO2 concentrations enough to… not die, imho

Nuclear power and renewables can power it too. But it's going to take a while for the technology to mature.

Remeber that most carbon capture initiatives are funded by fossil fuel corporations since those solutions don't focus on reducing hydrocarbon usage.

Perhaps this doll hasn’t had a spinal fusion yet. Not everyone that has scoliosis is going to have all of those physical symptoms.

lol, concrete traps co2 anyway, as it cures. But making Portland cement releases a bunch more

It can be really hard to tell the difference between representation and disability porn. I also have bad scoliosis and initially felt triggered too. This doll just doesn’t capture the disfiguring pain and physical features but then again I’m not sure how plastic is supposed to show that. At any rate, I get you.
