Amy Scott

Amy Scott is the Marketplace reporter in The high cost of vacuuming carbon from the sky. Her visit to [[HeirloomCarbonTechnologies|Heirloom Carbon Technologies]] gives the episode its concrete Direct Air Capture explainer: the listener sees limestone, kiln heating, CO2 separation, and repeated atmospheric absorption rather than only hearing a climate-policy abstraction.

Scott’s reporting also links the technical demonstration to public funding and legitimacy questions. The segment follows from Heirloom’s California facility to its planned Louisiana project, then to Carbon180’s explanation of why some carbon-removal hubs survived federal funding cuts.
