    I’ve seen some cool stuff about heat batteries. Very interesting implementations of old technology.

    Yea I wasnt sure if this was something new or not, but I’d agree that carbon capture isnt nearly as interesting as some of the new battery storage or renewable energy tech thats being developed.

      The ReAct stuff isn’t new. For a more industrial example of this, check out CarbonCure. It’s not yet economical, though once you include external factors like carbon credits or other tools that financially punish emissions / reward sequestration it theoretically can be. As the the tech scales up, there’s every reason to think the cost of this kind of carbon-enriched concrete will at least be priced in the same league as traditional PCC.
