Recycling of carbon dioxide
In 2011, I started to explore which technologies were being developed to recycle the most notorious waste material of our time: carbon dioxide. It led to the discovery of a then unknown Icelandic company that was building the world’s first industrial-scale plant to recycle carbon dioxide from flue stack emissions into fuel by using renewable energy.
Here, you can view some of the original images I took, alongside examples of how the final prints looked.
Optimal reuse
The world’s first plant to recycle carbon dioxide into fuel is built in conjunction with a geothermal power station, located some 47 kilometres south west of Reykjavik.
The geothermal reservoir not only contains hot water to create energy, but also very pure carbon dioxide to convert into fuel.
On top of this, the geothermal water is rich in minerals. It flows from the power station to a spa, named Blue Lagoon, where the water is used to bath in. Also, many beauty products are made with these minerals.
Interested in working together?
I'd love to hear from you.
