Emissions from 870 Californias mitigated

A new carbon capture plant has been turned on in Iceland, claiming to capture the annual emissions from 870 vehicles. But at a cost of $10-15 million, the additional cost per ICE vehicle would be $11,500 to $17,250. Perhaps in time this would come down. But with an estimated 1.4 billion motor vehicles worldwide 16,000,000 plants worldwide would be needed to fully mitigate carbon emissions from motor vehicles at a cost Elon Musk could just about afford.

Operators say the Orca plant can suck 4,000 tonnes of CO2 out of the air every year and inject it deep into the ground to be mineralised
