In Hengill, a volcanic ridge east of Reykjavik, a white steam cloud blurs the outline of a metal power plant. Its four units each contain two metal boxes that whir with fans. These are sucking in the air to trap carbon dioxide, using a sponge-like filter called solid sorbent that binds with the carbon. Once the sponge is saturated, the interior is heated to 100 degrees Celsius, then the carbon is squeezed out and injected deep into an underground basalt rock formation. Within two years, it turns to stone.

A recent poll claimed that Britons spent around 6 months of their life talking about the weather. I’ll withhold comment around whether I’m surprised that the figure isn’t higher, but it’s safe to say 2023’s weather events already provided plenty of talking points.

Getting funding for your startup is hard enough. Even at the best of times founders need to prove themselves and their product worthy of thousands, even millions of pounds of other peoples’ hard earned cash. Having the next best thing might open the door to funding, having the right network, having met the right people and being part of an often closed/close-nit community also helps far too much. Sad but often true.
