In Hawaii, we tend to look at carbon dioxide in the air as a problem that contributes to global warming. In Iceland, people recognize it as a problem but also see it as an opportunity. Scientists and engineers there, have turned their efforts at carbon sequestration into intellectual property that they now provide to power companies all over the world. The new technology is known as Carb Fix and the company of the same name provides information on how to remove plumes of carbon waste from the exhaust of power company smoke stacks and turn it into limestone rock. A related technology called Direct Air Capture (DAC) filters carbon dioxide directly from the air from multiple locations. Both may be key to the way the world is going to deal with global warming. We will also be looking at how some 21st century farmers in Hawaii are turning their efforts at carbon sequestration into an entirely new way of working the land . Please join us.
