RE:RE:Anyone know about Pro Select GC6? Threat to CST's RPB?

[Co2Harvest]

I noticed that (no details about their tech), and also found that the site gc6.ca is currently down. The best I could find was that in 2012, their system cost $5M, and was capable of 5 tonnes of Co2 per hour, both of which put it ahead of CST's 1st Gen technology in terms of price and performance where CST's 2018 CAPEX is about $8Mill for 30TPD. I found another article from 2012 or thereabouts that mentioned that the payback period was 50 years but the article I shared about the greenhouse in the U.S. that recently received $500k sort made it seem that the cost had come down materially, that the funding was for up to half the cost of such technology to a max of x... and I can't imagine any greenhouse investing in tech like this if it's a 20 or 30-year payback so I'm guessing that their costs have come down to $1M to $2.5M but this is also a cogeneration system that both heats the greenhouse in the cool months, and captures its own emissions to feed the plants. I.e. it's offering more than a straight up bolt-on capture solution. In my view, RPB needs to compete with that too. If you can fit RPB into a shipping container it needs to be priced below $1M CAD if it's only capturing Co2. That would give it a 3-8 year payback period at 30 TPD with Co2 flucuating around the current market price and assuming some OPEX costs baked in.

I imagine they are looking at this too - i.e. converting Co2 is certainly great but reuse in year-round Dutch-style greenhouses (i.e. we need more Serres Toundras, please) is maybe the easiest win until they have the conversion technologies ready for market.

if their website is any indication carbon capture isn't main goal and it doesn't discuss how they accomplish it. It's coming together for cst just a little longer till the Capex is lower. If there was a viable product to make from co2 we would be golden all ready, and the whole world is working that out for us.
