Comment on Heimdal (YC S21) builds the world’s cheapest direct air capture plant

Comments

The article says you sell hydrochloric acid as a byproduct:

[Heimdal] uses electricity to rearrange molecules in the water, removing acid. It can then sell the acid it removes, which ends up in the form of hydrochloric acid.

What are the other costs/revenue streams are hidden in here? Are there ways to capitalize the waste carbonate instead of depositing it back in the ocean?
