‘World’s largest’ vacuum system launched; aims to extract climate pollution from air

Science & Technology, World News

The “world’s largest” plant designed to suck planet-heating pollution out of the atmosphere like a giant vacuum began operating in Iceland on Wednesday. “Mammoth” is the second commercial direct air capture plant opened by Swiss company Climeworks in the country, and is 10 times bigger than its predecessor, Orca, which started running in 2021. Direct air capture, or DAC, is a technology designed to suck in air and strip out the carbon using chemicals. The carbon can then be injected deep beneath the ground, reused or transformed into solid products.

It is partnering with Icelandic company Carbfix for this so-called sequestra...

Sports News, World News

SOURCE: US NEWS UPDATE PSG remains one level below the elite. They have lost all four games of their two-legged Champions League semi-finals in the QSI era, against Manchester City in 2020-21 and now against Dortmund in 2023-24.
