Google intends to use electricity from the 400-MW power plant in Decatur, Illinois, to operate nearby data centers. Carbon capture will eliminate some of the plants emissions, but how much remains to be seen.
London-based Seabound has developed a carbon capture system that transforms CO2 from a ship’s engine into limestone, which Heidelberg Materials will use to make cement.
Arbor Energy’s carbon-removing power plant is inspired by SpaceX’s rocket engines.
