Christian Toya

Christian Toya is the [[HeirloomCarbonTechnologies|Heirloom Carbon Technologies]] representative who demonstrates the company’s Limestone Loop Carbon Capture process in The high cost of vacuuming carbon from the sky. The episode uses Toya’s explanation to make Direct Air Capture legible: limestone is heated, CO2 is removed and stored, and the remaining powder absorbs more CO2 from the air.

Toya also gives the key economic threshold. The episode says capture currently costs in the high hundreds of dollars per ton, while Toya argues the industry needs to reach about $100 per ton for workable economics, making his role central to Carbon Removal Cost Curve.
