Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture, page-7

We already have that tech & its had millions of years of development......its called ... TREES's

Why don't we just pay the Nations in the Congo & Amazon billions of dollars a year NOT to cut down their rainforests & reverse the decimation of the Jungles), would be cheaper than what each nation is currently spending... These are the lungs of the planet, plus huge carbon storage as an added by product.

On another subject, will be good when they get Vanadium battery gets to these levels per kWh.

Will then be the go to battery for mass storage as it has advantages over Lithium Ion in that space.

CellCube Energy Storage Systems Inc., a Canada-listed maker of batteries that can last for as long as two decades, said the cost of its technology may halve within four years, potentially boosting its uptake over lithium-ion units.

Costs of its vanadium redox flow battery units, which can discharge power for four hours, will decline to $150 per kilowatt hour from $300, President Stefan Schauss said in a phone interview from Toronto this month. Batteries with eight hours of duration will slump to $100 from $200, he said.
  

Utilities and renewable energy suppliers are increasingly looking to store intermittent wind and sun-generated power to balance out power flows to grids and deploy the electricity when demand peaks. About $620 billion in investment will be required to meet the global energy storage needs that will surge to a cumulative 942 gigawatts by 2040, according to Bloomberg NEF.
  
“The stationary energy storage market is in an inflection point,” said Schauss, adding that users increasingly prefer storage with longer duration. Combined with falling costs of flow batteries, “lithium batteries may have a hard time to compete.”


Lithium-ion batteries remain the technology of choice for both utility-scale and behind-the-meter storage to date, according to Bloomberg NEF. But vanadium redox flow battery companies have promised significant cost reductions compared to lithium-ion competitors, BNEF analyst Logan Goldie-Scot said in a separate email.
