What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Pilot energy/capacity claims are credible and well-sourced, but the only commercial-scale data (Mammoth/Orca) shows roughly one-thousandth of design output and a company in retrenchment — a textbook claim-vs-observed gap.
Next
Re-evaluate after the Louisiana Gen 3 plant reports verified net-tonnes-vs-nameplate for a full operating year; never anchor any pv carbon claim to Climeworks nameplate numbers.
