    Did you read the article? It’s a project that isn’t meant to do much at the moment.

    At present the amount of CO2 this pilot project is removing is tiny – at most 100 metric tonnes per year – that’s less CO2 than a commercial plane emits crossing the Atlantic.

    They are using this project to see how effective they can make it and what its impact on animal life would be.

      I did of course, this isn’t reddit.;)

      It’s not a lab trial, it’s a field trial. There is a ton of on paper improvements before something like this moves into the field. It’s wasting resources. Think more, design more, then deploy and test in the field.
