Klaus J. Lackner

Klaus J. Lackner is an American scientist specializing in environmental engineering and climate change solutions. He’s known for developing innovative ideas to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. One of his notable concepts involves creating large-scale "carbon scrubbers"—machines or structures designed to capture CO₂ directly from the air. His work aims to help mankind address climate change by removing excess carbon and developing sustainable energy technologies, making a significant contribution to efforts for a cleaner, healthier planet.
