The Ocean Cleanup Technology Explained | System 001 | Cleaning Oceans

In this video we explain how our Ocean Cleanup system 001 works. Subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/371k8sN

The ocean is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods – vessels and nets – would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. Our passive systems are estimated to remove half the Great Pacific Garbage patch in just five years, and at a fraction of the cost. Our first cleanup system will be deployed in the summer of 2018. This is how it works.

Trash accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean.

The ocean is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods – vessels and nets – would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. Our passive systems are estimated to remove 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage patch in just five years, and at a fraction of the cost.

Netting Zero | Technology, Climate Solutions and Public Health | Earth Day Special

Live cart captioning is available for this event here: bit.ly/NYT_NettingZero

There are many links between climate change and public health, but what can technology do to address new solutions? This Earth Day, tune in for a special broadcast that will look at how the climate crisis affects our health, and how technology can help us accelerate solutions for a greener and healthier future.

Moderated by Rebecca Blumenstein, deputy managing editor at The Times, on April 22 at 1:30 p.m. E.S.T., we will hear from climate leaders including Rahaf Harfoush, digital anthropologist; Audrey Tang, programmer and Taiwanese cabinet minister; Dr. Cheryl Holder, a physician who focuses on climate change; Geraldine Matchett, the Royal DSM co-chief executive; and Darío Gil, director of research at IBM.

We will also see and hear from young social influencers and artists — including Leah Thomas, Sophia Li and Maja Petric — on how they are using their platforms to address climate change while sparking global conversations.

Directly following the event, viewers will enjoy an exclusive premier screening of the short film “Mother of the Sea,” a tale exploring the dangers of our warming planet. Presented by WaterBear, we will also hear from Nic Brown, the Emmy-award winning director, in conversation with Henry Fountain, a climate reporter at The Times, on how the film came to life.

Carbon Capture Technology Explained | Seachange

Watch next for more on how to reduce our carbon footprint: https://youtu.be/RK7EohqKbaQ

Today, mankind’s collective activity deposits about 50 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. All of this carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun and warms the entire planet, creating new conditions that are changing life as we know it.

So scientists are suggesting Co2 extraction methods in an effort to become carbon neutral – a cycle in which we clean up as much carbon dioxide as we emit.

For the engineers who work on carbon removal at a large scale, the dream is to devise a closed-loop system in which the carbon released could be treated as a commodity or resource, rather than a waste product.

Now, a Canada-based company called Carbon Engineering is turning this dream into a reality, using cutting-edge carbon capture technology called “direct air capture” to clean the air.
