potentially dumb q, but how are they expecting to expel carbon from "atmospheric air" when the turbines are mere meters from the ground...?

Atmosphere doesn't mean high altitude, it's all the gas around our planet, including what you are breathing right now.

Also, the CO2 concentration is pretty much constant (as a function of height) below the turbopause, because of mixing, so it doesn't matter at which altitude you extract it.

Well, trees are also several meters from the ground. Algae is underwater and does its job.

What I like about this is that it can be placed in zones with high CO2 concentration.

thanks, that makes sense
