This bucket holds 55 pounds of "carbon dots". The dots are made from carbon dioxide grabbed out of thin air using Carbon Engineering's direct air capture machine. Each dot is 44% carbon dioxide by weight, so the bucket holds 24.2 pounds of carbon dioxide.
That's the same as 1 gallon of gasoline.
This is what climate solutions look like. It's rough, raw, and heavy. (I need to do more pushups to carry the bucket around!) We'll make 100 "air carbon" planters with this material.
