Hello, thanks for checking this out. My name is Preston Price and I run Open CO2. Open CO2 is a small startup based in Marion, Ohio aiming to try and make carbon capturing inexpensive, open source, and easy to make for the average person. The reason we are doing this, is because we realize that our generation and those after it will have to face the biggest impacts of climate change.
We want it to be open source as we think that it will allow more people to have access to the technology meaning we can have a bigger impact on the community and the world. We are currently in the concept stage but with this campaign, if the amount is raised, then we can start going into the Research and development phase and then hopefully not to long after we can enter the beta testing, then the final release.
We hope that this can lower the impact of climate change, and we are really hoping that this can slow it to the point where it will take centuries or even longer for the full impact to hit. We are trying to raise money to get a small workshop/lab and the necessary equipment/materials to perform the research(like glassware, blowers, and small machinery). If possible, in the future, we would also like to make small biomass generators with carbon capturing systems on the output so that it can be carbon negative, but that is still something very far out in the future most likely.
But we still are holding onto hope that we will be able to make a drastic positive change in the fight against climate change as I don’t think anyone wants to face the impact. Thank you for checking this out, we hope that you will consider supporting us on our Indiegogo campaign!
