[Capturing carbon "out of thin air"]The factory is called "Oka", which is pronounced the same as "Energy" in Icelandic

The plant was established in cooperation with the Swiss air technology company "Climate Factory" and the Icelandic Carbon Storage Technology Company
International Energy Agency data show that global carbon dioxide emissions reached 31.

[High cost]The direct capture of carbon from the air is an emerging technology.
"Washington Post" quoted one of the founders of "Climate Factory" and engineer Christoph Gerbald as saying that most of the company's devices using this technology are manufactured by hand, rather than automated production, plus the need to capture carbon dioxide.
Gerbald said the company hopes to cut costs to approximately US$200 to US$300 per ton by the end of 2030
"Climate Factory" CEO Jan Witzbacher said that the Oka factory is the company's first commercialization of carbon capture technology from the air, and the relevant market demand is strong, which will help accelerate the development of scale
