New technology could capture carbon and water out of thin air

„A lightly trafficked stretch of road near Bakersfield, California may seem an odd place to try to solve two environmental crises at once. But there, sandwiched between a decommissioned solar thermal project and an almond farm, a company is testing a machine that can suck carbon dioxide and water out of the air. That machine is the first attempt by Avnos, a Los Angeles-based startup, to prove it can do what it calls hybrid direct air capture (DAC). Its technique would clean the air of CO₂ and capture water that can be used in an era of worsening drought. It’s a moonshot bet on an already moonshot technology.“
