CarbonQuest, in Spokane Valley, sells a carbon capture technology that pairs with buildings and smaller natural gas operations such as gas boilers, fuel cells and industrial activities. It developed a filter that the startup says can pull out approximately 90 % of the carbon dioxide from an emission source’ s flue— trapping the planetwarming pollutant before it reaches the atmosphere. Carbon capture devices are more commonly used by larger power plants, but CarbonQuest is going after the smaller emitters, which includes 800,000 distributed emission sources in North America alone.
