Carlos Härtel (Climeworks): Können eure CO2-Staubsauger die Klimakrise wegsaugen? - Impact Monster | Podcast on Spotify

Listen to this episode from Impact Monster on Spotify. Klingt nach Science Fiction Blockbuster, ist aber wahr. Das Cleantech Unternehmen Climeworks wurde 2009 mit dem Ziel gegründet, in Zukunft im großen Stil CO2 aus der Luft zu saugen. Denn während Direct Air Capture vor ein paar Jahren noch umstritten war, sagt heute auch der Weltklimarat: In Zukunft müssen wir CO2 aus der Atmosphäre entziehen, um unsere Klimaziele zu erreichen. Wie genau Climeworks schon jetzt CO2 aus der Luft in Island saugt, was dann mit dem CO2 eigentlich genau passiert und warum wir uns trotz dieser sehr vielversprechenden Technologie nicht einfach auf technologische Lösungen für die Klimakrise verlassen sollten, darüber haben wir mit Carlos Härtel, dem CTO von Climeworks, gesprochen.

Sachgeschichte: Klima Folge 6: Leben mit dem Wandel | Video | In der letzten Folge der Sachgeschichtenreihe zum Klima reist Laura nach Island. In der Nähe von Reykjavík besucht sie eine Anlage, die das Co2 aus der Luft herausfiltert. Darüber hinaus gibt es hier das größte Geothermie-Kraftwerk der Welt - dies versorgt die Anlage und die Hauptstadt Islands mit Energie. Das Co2, das aus der Luft gefiltert wird, kann dann im nächsten Schritt in die Erde gepumpt werden. Darüber hinaus reist Johannes an die Universität Hamburg-Harburg und schaut sich dort eine Versuchsanlage zur Dachbegrünung an. Dachbegrünungen können u.a. helfen bei Starkregen die Abwassersysteme der Städte zu entlasten.
