Foreign You're Looking at What Could Be the World's First Carbon Negative Vehicle This Is ZEM Now, ZEM Actually Collects More Carbon Than It Emits So Let's Go Take It for a Ride.

News Flash: The world is facing a carbon crisis even though global carbon emission growth is slowing we're still on pace to emit more carbon in 2022 than any year in human history and despite misconceptions you may have heard about cattle and agriculture the worst polluters in the United States or you guessed it Vehicles Planes Trains and yes are cars and trucks but what if getting in your car and taking a long drive didn't fuel climate change it actually reduced your carbon footprint that reality isn't here for most of us just yet but a group of college students proved it's not impossible meet ZEM or zero emission Mobility a concept car built from the ground up to be not just carbon neutral but carbon negative same is to our knowledge the most sustainable car in the world right now ZEM is the brainchild of 35 students from Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands they spent the last year conceptualizing designing and building them to be sustainable through its entire life cycle we caught up with them in San Francisco on ZEM's three-month tour of the U.S.

There is a laundry list of features and technologies that make this car green but let's start with what you're probably wondering how does this car clean the atmosphere it's thanks to two carbon dioxide filters the team designed and installed behind the front grille I should note they couldn't show us the filters because the team is trying to patent the technology as ZEM drives carbon sticks to a special grain inside the filter as air passes through the team estimates ZEM can capture four and a half pounds of CO2 every 20,000 miles driven that may not seem like a lot but about 10 Zems on the road would capture as much carbon as an average tree now imagine if even just 10 percent of the 275 million registered vehicles in the U.S had this technology that would be like planting nearly 3 million trees when these filters can be made modularly can be implemented in every type of vehicle every kind of Transportation all small bits will eventually become a big snowball and help the greenhouse emissions once the filters are full after about 200 miles the team says they can be emptied and the carbon can be put to use for example in the process of making beer so instead of having the carbon dioxide open in the air where we don't need it we can actually use it on useful purposes that's right the carbon captured by ZEM could one day become an ice cold beer.

The chassis is 3D printed made completely from recycled plastic that interior that's made from pineapples also known as vegan leather the dash is made from recycled cooking oils solar panels on the roof and the hood generate about 15 percent of ZEM's power it also has a traditional plug-in connection behind the rear license plate to help charge the eight batteries the team implemented bi-directional charging technology into ZEM meaning you could use it as a generator to power your appliances in your home of course a major part of a vehicle's environmental impact is what happens to it at the end of its life the ZEM team says everything here can be recycled starting with a plastic frame which can be shredded and reused for 3D printing that is nowhere near hitting a production line anytime soon the team hopes its work can inspire others particularly those with more resources and deeper pockets what we can do as a team of 35 undergraduate students a big company with a full Department of bright Engineers can do way better.

Carbon capture is expected to become big business in the next few years analysts estimate it will be a seven billion dollar industry by 2028. We have several videos on carbon capture technologies I'll put links to them down in the description we were supposed to take a full ride in ZEM unfortunately that couldn't happen as can be expected with any sort of concept vehicle they were experiencing some technical difficulties with the steering now of course this isn't meant to be a production vehicle this is a proof of concept meant to prove that a car can be 100 sustainable so I want to know what you think what do you think of them let me know down in those comments below if you enjoyed this video please don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to CNET for more like it
