                             Mechanical Trees Capture CO2  Centre for Negative Carbon Emissions(CSNE) Arizona state University have developed ‘Mechanical Trees’ that capture CO2 passively and sequester it for industrial and agricultural use.   The Mechanical trees may look like a real trees, but performance to absorb carbon is better than a real trees much moe efficient in performance. Stand out about 30 feet tall and have more than 150 discs. These structures suck carbon dioxide out of the air. In addition to removing CO2 from the air, the system allows the captured high purity CO2 to be safely and permanently removed from the atmosphere. The mechanical Trees can be built where we can not grow the trees.  The technology involves discs of sorbent stacked in columns. When a column is fully extended, the discs are exposed to air and capture atmospheric CO2. Once full, the discs are then lowered b...
