Oil companies are pouring billions into technologies to capture CO2 at fossil fuel plants or even suck it out of the air. They have made big promises — but w...
Carbon capture as a solution where you use power to filter out CO2 from the atmosphere is ONLY a viable strategy if we can make 100% carbon free power.
Until then you’d use 100 CO2 generating power to (after all losees) capture 30 CO2, it’s dumb. If you use a solar powered system instead, you still are losing as now someone else that could have used your solar power is using 100 CO2 while you pull only 30 out…
Once everything runs on CO2 free power, THEN it makes sense to start carbon capture, until then it’s only playfully pretending while making the situation actively worse.
