Thank you. Sadly that's poorly phrased on my part. The bio says that I'm "into" that tech; i.e. it interests me. All I'm doing to capture CO2 at the moment is pay Climeworks monthly. I also took a sneak peek at their Orca plant in Iceland when I was there, but not much to see from the outside aside from a big 'keep out' sign.
I asked them if there would be any sort of tour available, given that the neighboring power plant has an exhibition (which is superb by the way! Easily worth the money, and I spent quite a bit of time geeking out there on.is/en/geothermal-exhibition/). Initially Climeworks responded, we exchanged a few emails, and one of their marketing guys wanted to give me a call, so I sent my number and... got ghosted. No replies to reminder/follow-up emails or anything. Bit bummed but oh well, didn't expect there would be anything available in the first place so I can't complain.
As for the other climate-related part of my bio, reducing emissions, there's a whole host of things but mostly things everyone already knows is an option: I chose to live in a place where I can commute by public transport, I buy and sell second hand instead of new when possible, reduce meat consumption (prioritized by a CO2/kg chart, which unfortunately includes cheese above chicken iirc) and buy veggie/vegan food to vote with my wallet, vote green in elections since imo basically everything else (short of war-like situations) can wait a few years, etc.
Well better than nothing! If you have plans to return to Iceland, maybe I can point you to someone helpful on their team. my email is my username @ airminers.org.
And if you do get curious about working on carbon removal, check out the AirMiners Boot Up: https://bootup.airminers.org/
Thanks for the pointer! Definitely checking that out. And thanks for the offer, though Iceland was expensive and required... yup... a flight, so I might not be going back too soon to Iceland specifically. Beautiful place though.
