Onboard tanks store CO₂ plucked from thin air, until your vehicle is recharged.
Image: The clean energy charge goes in, and the Carbon Dioxide drawn from the sky goes out to be sequestered far away.

When you stop at the charging station, your accumulated CO2 is drawn off. It won't require you to do anything.

When the novelty wears off, you'll forget it's even happening. The nozzle that delivers your electric charge will also withdraw the CO2 your vehicle has collected since the last visit to any station.

Your onboard CO2 tank does not need to be big. Depending upon the size of your car, it might hold 2 to 4 cubic feet of highly concentrated Carbon Dioxide gas.

Tank size will also depend on how big a tank your vehicle can accommodate. For a car, that would be smaller. For an RV, large truck or bus, the tank might be double or quadruple in size. Locomotives and ships have enormous capacities for tanks.

You can get a much better idea of the air cleansing power of a properly outfitted CCC vehicle below—and let's think inside the box for a change.

Your new Carbon Capture Car will remove all of the Carbon Dioxide
in this volume of air—and it will do it every week...

Imagine if every car, truck, RV, bus, locomotive, big ship and tall building in the world is also removing all of the CO2 in its own cube of air—and it is doing that continuously, year after year—until our sky is once again clean and pristine.

On average, vehicles would do it once a week: they would empty their accumulated CO2 at the same time as they recharge at any EV chargepoint. Large vehicles would have larger tanks. Tanks on trucks, buses, locomotives and large ships would clear CO2 out of much larger volumes of air.

The description of there being a volume of air for any given vehicle is just a way for you to visualize the extraordinary impact this new technology will have on the total atmospheric shell which surrounds the earth. Naturally, all volumes of air are constantly churning and mixing with each other.

An internal combustion engine car on the road emits about 4.6 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. EPA  A CCC car will remove a healthy percentage of that every year.

CCC vehicles will extract CO2 tirelessly for the next 30 years—in conjunction with a host of other potent CO2 cleansing methods—until the percent of CO2 in our atmosphere is at levels not seen since the Industrial Revolution of 1760. That was the point at which industrial pollution of the sky began.

If you are scratching your head, and thinking:
"How can you put that much CO₂ in a small tank?"

The amount of CO2 in any given atmospheric cube of air—even a really big cube—is not very much.

Remember that the percentage of CO2 in any given volume of ordinary air is miniscule. Scientists measure that percentage in 'ppm,' or 'parts per million.'

The amount of CO2 in the cube depicted here is 419 ppm. That percentage of CO2 occupies a mere .04% of the cube. Please note— that's not 4%, and it's not .4%. It's .04%— a teeny, tiny, miniscule amount of Carbon Dioxide.
This much are other gases: 999,584 ppm, or 99.96%!

Mulitply that one cube's weekly cleansing by the 1.5 to 2 billion Carbon Capture Cars that will be on the road, with each one removing all of the CO2 in their cube— and then multiply that by 30 years of effort.

"I've heard that Carbon Capture can be an expensive process.
What's the truth about that? Is there a way around that expense?"

Carbon Capture can be a relatively expensive process.

In the scenario being presented in this report, the feared costs associated with Carbon Capture in general, and Carbon Capture Cars in particular, will be mitigated by overwhelming scale at every level.

MIT researchers have already produced laboratory versions of a game-changing atmospheric Carbon Dioxide extraction device. Their invention differs from other similar initiatives in that it is designed to extract airborne Carbon Dioxide at any concentration. That might not sound like a groundbreaking ability— but it is in fact so revolutionary that 'We the People' need to support this particular effort whole-heartedly, as its implications for our survival as a civilization might hinge upon this very technology.

Continuing intensive research by the company they've founded, and the scientific teams they will employ, will greatly optimize the CO2 Scrubbers destined to be installed in our cars, trucks, buses, etc., so that those scrubbers are both powerful and affordable; 650 or so automobile factories around the world will streamline their production; and, at least for this particular device, they might just all utilize the same design, and once again bring costs down because of it.

Automobile manufacturers will pool their purchasing power to inexpensively requsition raw materials.

The devices they produce in their factories will be cost-effective due to high production line efficiencies, the sheer scale and quantity of CO2 Scrubbers being manufactured on those production lines, and—given the planet-saving nature of the goal—the financing governments will contribute to defray costs.

Should vehicle owners be concerned about Carbon Capture costs??

Models for the cost of Carbon Capture range from 'affordable' to 'off-the-charts.' The MIT researchers indicate that their electro-swing device in operation would cost about $50 to $100 US Dollars per Metric Ton. That's in the affordable range. Still— could we do better? Let's consider the "Fair Share" approach.

In regards to Carbon Capture Cars, those costs wouldn't be demanded of individual car owners. In the same way sewer systems are paid for by a municipality—with everyone paying their fair share in the form of taxes, and for a service that everyone ultimately uses—any nation's vehicle fleet will likewise be included in an overall public tax for the costs of capture, the conduits for that captured CO2, and the eventual sequestration of that Carbon Dioxide 7,000 feet deep below the earth's surface.

The market will be involved, and meaningful legislation will ensure that Carbon Capture Cars—and all vehicles that will utilize the tech—will conform to every possible vetted plan to guarantee that the car and the device affordably meet. Remember that first and foremost, capturing skyborne CO2 is society's goal, not just the vehicle owner's assigned task.

In the final analysis, whatever the ultimate cost is regarding a technology which promises to reverse Climate Change in relatively short order, that commitment far exceeds the alternative: that doing nothing—or just not doing enough—will be infinitely more expensive—as well as dangerous for a planet already reeling from atmospheric CO2 proliferation.

To succesfully implement Carbon Capture Cars globally,
nations will do what it takes to achieve a successful outcome
regarding cost, as the alternative is just too unthinkable.

There are two ways to look at CO2: 1. How much more CO2 is in the sky today, compared to natural pre-industrial levels? 2. What is the percent of CO2 in the sky today, compared to the total volume of air?
Here's why understanding this is important: The answer to those two questions are as different as day from night, even if it would seem that the answers might be similar. It is crucial to understand the distinction, if we also want to understand why Carbon Capture Cars will work when they are tasked with CO2 removal from the ocean of air in our vast one billion cubic mile atmosphere.
How much more CO2 is in the sky today, compared to natural pre-industrial levels?		What is the percent of CO2 in the sky today compared to the total volume of air?
The current level of atmospheric CO2 is 419 PPM. For thousands of years, the pre-industrial levels oscillated between 180 and 300 PPM. Somewhere around 1950, the CO2 level count took off dramatically. NOAA Concurrent with that huge 120 PPM increase from 1950 to today, atmospheric heat has exploded due to the profound heat-trapping nature of skyborne Carbon Dioxide. In today's world, everyday more CO2 is added to the sky than is removed by natural processes.		Now, here is the core principle which allows cars to capture meaningful amounts of CO2: Percentage-wise, there is very little Carbon Dioxide in the sky, relative to all the other gases in any given volume of ordinary air, even though our civilization has more than doubled the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere since the pre-industrial era. That doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of CO2 in the sky.. there surely is. CO2 capture tanks can be small because the CO2 our cars will capture every week will now be highly concentrated: that means we will stuff an awful lot of CO2—and nothing but CO2—into a small tank on our car's undercarriage. Whenever you stop to charge up, the CO2 in your tank will automatically be drawn off to be sequestered below impervious geologic formations located 7,000 feet underground. Consider also that we don't have to remove all of the CO2 in the atmosphere; we just have to remove somewhere in the vicinity of half of it.
The takeaways? The ever growing amount of CO2 in our sky will cause average global atmospheric heat levels to increase everywhere on Earth for many years to come; but importantly, notice that the percentage of CO2 in the sky will remain miniscule. That provides our avenue of attack and invites the most potent way out of our existential dilemma: Scrub the sky clean of its excess CO2 with our cars. That is good news and our saving grace.. it means we can implement powerful new atmospheric CO2 removal technologies in planet-saving rates of time. Finally, all the projections for effective, massive and rapid CO2 removal by billions of cars, trucks, trains, ships, tall buildings, etc., depend upon one other very important factor: We mustn't fail at implementation of a contract with the planet that supports all of our needs. The opening paragraph of that document will say: "The introduction of planet-killing Carbon Dioxide into our atmosphere must stop... That is Job #1 as a civilization."

Compared with oil and gas extraction, wind and solar cost, well, ... nothing. Wind and solar energy are free and abundant just about anywhere and everywhere on Planet Earth.

Yes, it's true we'll also need solar panels and wind turbines galore. But, once installed, the cost of maintenance for that infrastructure – when compared to the dangerous and outdated current system – is extremely modest. Wind and solar energy generation is ample, safe, reliable, and cost-effective.

By electrifying our global grid with only wind and solar  power, we will have a safe, affordable and stable supply of electricity for every purpose; and, most importantly, for propelling all of our Carbon Capture Cars. They will get us around— and secure a future for our planet.

Unlike the oil shocks we now regularly experience — caused by an unstable system charging wildly fluctuating prices for a product that is bad for our lungs and our health — and so much worse for the health of our global atmosphere — we will instead appreciate the safe consistency of a uniform and universal clean energy supply.

The oil industry itself might choose to get onboard with wind and solar.. and not as an ornament to hide the deleterious results of their petroleum-based platform, but as a new strategy to remain relevant.
OIL COMPANY INVESTORS DISMISS WIND & SOLAR

The only reason to not choose that route would be if the management of those companies — and their stockholders — actually believe that Climate Change is something that will bite us only in the far distant future, and we still have plenty of time to generate a few more billions.

They might consider that we are now losing in the bottom of the 8th inning, and that the optimal time to meaningfully change course is right now.

They could use their wide range of resources—and their scientists and engineers—to design and fund a complete transition to wind and solar. Everyone who works for these companies has kids too.

And what about our future on Planet Earth?

Will Carbon Capture Cars confidently move us forward??

With your support, the answer can be an emphatic 'YES!'

In just the next few years time, we could see our transformed global fleet of CCC vehicles beginning the reversal of Earth's atmospheric warming, and thus altering the destiny of a once imperiled civilization.

With a World War II-style production mentality, governments and automobile manufacturers can—and must—secure this precious goal at lightning speed.

The New Partnership: CARBON CAPTURE CARS
& THE WORLD'S FORESTS

One hand washes the other... as Carbon Capture Cars begin to proliferate, they will remove greater total amounts of skyborne CO2 with every passing day, as more CCC vehicles are added to the fleet; and at the same time, polluting vehicles will leave the road or be outfitted to capture their own CO2 effluence. This will also slow and eventually reverse a warming atmosphere.

And, by lowering temperatures with atmospheric CO2 removal by Carbon Capture Cars, trucks, buses, trains, big ships, and skyscrapers, etc., our global forest range will be in much better shape because of it. And, by asking forests to continue their millennia of work capturing carbon to keep the Earth cool, all the coming potent technology to remove atmospheric CO2 overload will enjoy a powerful and timely helping hand.

What would power the CO₂ Scrubbers integrated into every vehicle?

We may choose to have all vehicles run on efficient batteries that are charged by wind and solar sources only. Consider that little energy is required to deliver CO2 to the Scrubbers—it just blasts in as your car tools down the highway.

Energy will still be required to operate the Scrubber.

That power will be sourced from the car's extensive complement of high energy-density batteries, and perhaps also be co-generated by unseen small but highly efficient compact wind turbines adjacent to the CO2 Scrubber.

The stark warnings now permeating the conversation that a new energy infrastructure will be required to remove all the excess CO2 up there—and it will call for thousands of huge facilities, at astronomical costs, and 50-year timelines—might now be obviated by the relatively low cost, simplicity, and raw power of simply asking our vehicles, trains, big ships, and even our tall buildings, to engage the task.

Image text translation: It is time to say goodbye... The Internal Combustion Engine.


Why couldn't we leave the internal combustion engine in place,
and just add CO₂ Scrubbers on our vehicles?

Choosing that route would be better than doing nothing—but not by much.

The problem is that the world is careening towards an unimaginable future of heat, devastation and death—and much of that nightmare is caused by polluting cars, trucks, buses and large ocean-going ships. A reckoning for our folly is coming our way much faster than all previous evidence would suggest.

Without maximizing every possibility to reject fossil fuels, every opportunity to embrace clean Green energy technologies, and every chance to build cars and trucks that pluck gigs of CO2 from the sky, we will not be able to prevent a global catastrophe of an unparalleled magnitude.

Recent proposals by automobile manufacturers declare that 2035 would be a tolerable sunset date for the sale of—and putting on the road—the last polluting vehicles. But let's think about that for just a moment...


If the average life of a car is about 12 years, then that puts those 2035 model cars still on our highways until 2047!

What sounds reasonable at first blush is more likely to be yet another dangerous postponement of sober and effective atmospheric heat-reduction solutions.

Given how much human-released CO2 is already in the sky, those timelines are cynical at best.

It will take much more than only ramping up electric and Hydrogen vehicle production to make a real difference.

CCC's • Carbon Capture Cars provide a mighty incentive to rapidly retire all non-CCC cars at a rate that might far exceed the status quo. With governments, industry, and citizenry onboard, the call to change course will be heard loud and clear.

You won't just be going to a clean and green electric car—that's only half way there. You will be going one giant leap for humankind more—to a car that cleans the sky of its CO2 overload.

The auto industry could take the high road, and recognize they have the power to save our planet and civilization—and the generations to come—should scientists and engineers declare that CCC vehicles outfitted with CO2 Scrubbers are a viable agency for quickly reversing the Climate Emergency.

And, the industry would likely sell a lot of magnificent cars, trucks, buses and RV's in the process.

Internal combustion engine automobile pollution is killing us.

Particulate pollution of the air we breathe is dangerous and even deadly. Recent research at Harvard University indicates that the issue is getting worse, regardless of governmental standards put in place that were designed to regulate the issue. Thousands of lives could be saved—and health issues minimized—if we choose to deliberately move away from the gasoline engine, and embrace non-polluting models. HARVARD • UOCS

Carbon Capture Cars won't pollute.
Instead, they'll pluck Carbon Dioxide from the sky day and night.

Our goal is to turn the fleet Green as fast as possible. That means first and foremost
to convert production to pure CCC—no to emissions, and yes to on-board CO2 removal.

Let's open a second front and retrofit all vehicles currently on the road.

No, we won't penalize those who still drive a CO2 emitting vehicle. No one will have to choose between keeping their car on the road or being forced to buy a new Carbon Capture Car.

To reduce anxiety and be fair to the millions of non-CCC vehicles, owners will be allowed to continue to drive their vehicle. However, they will all also be asked to adapt.

Two for the price of one?

We will also ask that CO2 Scrubbers capture their own vehicle's Carbon Dioxide effluence.
Non-CCC cars, trucks and buses would then be performing two important tasks:

1) They would remove CO2 already in the atmosphere, and... 2) they would also be removing a healthy percentage of the CO2 they are generating from their burning of gasoline.

By law, and over the course of just a few years, any car brought in to any service station would automatically be retrofitted. Additionally, even if there was no pressing service requirement, vehicle owners might still get a letter in the mail indicating: "It's your turn. Please bring your car into Max's Auto Garage on Oct. 12th." An entire new industry will be born—one whose purpose will be a one-two punch: the retrofitting of CO2 Scrubbers on polluting cars, and removing that dangerous Carbon Dioxide from both the sky and the vehicle's tailpipe.

Regulation would insure that all vehicles are retrofitted to conform with our clean atmosphere goal. These efforts applied to internal combustion engine vehicles would make a substantial difference in reducing vehicular CO2 pollution and would be a potent climate-cleaning initiative in their own right.

Your new Carbon Capture Car will capture CO₂— and it will also regularly deliver it.

Carbon capture is difficult. It requires exotic designs to meaningfully remove CO2 from the atmosphere. That invention is now here, and may shortly be in your car. The second tier of Carbon capture is: "What do you do with the stuff once you've got it in the tank?"

This is the other remarkable point about using our vehicles for Carbon capture. They can capture it anywhere, but they can only deliver it to the same places we all will charge up at. This is the less obvious but altogether necessary activity that CCC vehicles perform.

All commercial refueling stations and chargepoints will by law be outfitted to accept volumes of CO2. On a regular time schedule, those enormous tanks of concentrated CO2 are trucked or piped away to sequestration facilities, and thus the circle is complete.

 Could CCC vehicles be one of the keys to completely reverse Global Warming?

As Carbon Dioxide builds in the atmosphere, it also acts like a blanket. Sunlight that strikes the Earth's surface creates heat. As that heat attempts to return to space, it is blocked by the presence of ever increasing amounts of greenhouse gases, of which the primary culprit is CO2.

What is not widely known is that it only takes tiny amounts of CO2 increase to cause a disproportionate trapping of that heat trying to get back to space.

This might be very good news.  What's causing the Global Warming crisis are just the small amounts of excess CO2 in any given volume of air. If we remove those small amounts, we could lower the temperature. Until recently, there was no easy way to do that—but that is now about to change. What's brand new are technologies which can remove CO2 from the atmosphere at any concentration. The fastest way to scale up that removal process would be to harness the monumental capacity of our global fleet of 1.5 billion vehicles on the road.

If we reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by a mere 130 ppm, we will achieve our goal. There are a billion cubic miles / 4.2 billion cubic kilometers of air encircling our globe.

The total CO2 reduction needed to completely return us to normal temperatures is only .015% of that vast ocean of air. That works out to about 150 thousand cubic miles / 625 thousand cubic kilometers of excess CO2, still a stunningly large volume.

Along with other CO2 removal technologies, that mountain of CO2 in the sky will still be no match for those billion and a half cars, trucks, RV's, buses, locomotives, big ocean-going ships—and with time, all the buildings in all the cities of our planet—draining their 'cube' of CO2 every week over a 30-year timeline. We don't have to look to exotic locales to make it right: we can use the vast infrastructure we already have.

Let's look at the cost of fielding this audacious Climate Emergency solution.

The cost of CO2 Scrubbers can be spread across all of the consumers who use them—which will be just about everyone. Vehicle manufacturers will be on board hopefully for planet-saving reasons. They will also appreciate that every vehicle produced will now include another profit center: a Vehicular CO₂ Capture and Storage Tank.

Some might justifiably challenge that model. "Manufacturers should do it as a public service. It is about saving our planet—isn't it?" While that's true, it just might be the better part of valor to incentivize their participation by making it profitable.

Up front, the lure for consumers might be the desire to make a difference. This spirit of the times could be nurtured with widespread public service announcements, as well as widely distributed talks by experts concerning the historic importance of the transition.

Governments will also offer significant incentives when a CCC car is purchased. For example, an affordable CCC vehicle could be coupled with a significant rebate from any country's treasury: "This new CCC vehicle will be sold sales-tax free; additionally, your government will assist you in defraying its cost with a $2500 rebate."

In order to insure a firm phase-out date for the manufacture of non-CCC vehicles, governments would have laws on the books mandating that manufacturers comply.

"Rather than make a more efficient fossil fuel-powered car (thermodynamic efficiency), or drive it less (behavior efficiency), it makes more sense to make an electric car powered by renewable energy." ELECTRIFY - SAUL GRIFFITH

Image text translation: Moving away from heating and cooling our homes, offices and factories with fossil fuels is as important as any action to reverse course.

Some might say: "Let the market decide; it is what's always worked." The issue with that reasoning is that it does not take into account the extreme harm that is currently being done—and will continue to be done—by all the existing vehicles that rely on fossil fuel.

Competition in a new CO2 Scrubber manufacturing environment will insure that costs that will be passed on to the consumer will be reasonable. We might all pay a little bit more for that new car, but the financed payments will be spread over many years. We will be doing our part.

Say that a CO2 Scrubber retails for US $500, including the cost of installation in a vehicle. If that were a cost that had to be borne by governments, it might be regarded as outlandish: perhaps US $1 Trillion.

On the other hand, were it borne by the billion and a half consumers, it would just be another relatively small notch in their financed vehicle, and paid out over a period of years.

Given the seriousness of the Climate Emergency, this math is a reasonable way to parse an effective financing rubric for the removal of all the excess CO2 in the sky. It's also likely that governments might wish to participate in defraying those costs.

It's a good approach when neither governments nor manufacturers will find an objection to a CO2-removing planet-saving enterprise. Research and development to perfect this new and exciting invention will still require funding by governments and manufacturers.

You've seen those movies where an ancient and dangerous asteroid is careening towards Earth.. and we only have a few years to plan, build a rocket, and launch a team of heroes into space to blast that primordial rock to smithereens.

The real-world movie is now happening... and the equivalent plan for our survival might just depend on unleashing the political will and the financial resources to counter the threat, and to enact historic legislation to reimagine our global automobile fleet.

A timeline to launch meaningful production quotas for Carbon Capture Cars can easily be achieved within five to ten years. The scale we need is at hand—let's put it to work.
