What's the percentage of CO2 captured, considering lifetime emissions from the whole process?


Right now, we're probably at around 60-70% lifetime reduction (we're doing a comprehensive lifecycle analysis during our first pilots this summer). Over time, as the capture rate of our device approaches 100%, we think we can get close to 100% CO2 capture (since we'll be capturing the emissions from the truck and from transporting the CO2 to an end user, the main source of emissions). The only other source of emissions is the energy used by the pump at the offload station, and our early partners are powering that with renewable energy.
