Only if there was a small pipe or “smoke stack” that could emit these in super high concentrations of CO2 where we could just pipe it straight to the ground instead. Maybe we find all of those we could even stop them producing in the first place and leaving all the carbon in the ground. 🤔

There’s actually a new kind of gas turbine thermodynamic cycle that does in fact emit super-critical CO2 in a highly concentrated form that is extremely easy to collect and sequester. netpower.com/technology/
They’re building a 300MW facility in Texas right now. I’d say this is a really solid contender for a transitionary power generation while we stand around with our heads in the sand.
Yeah, capturing it from the source is way better than capturing from some random air. A capture rate of 90% as an addon to current coal/gas infra including cement production would buy us a ton of transition time

Well we still need to capture the excess CO2 that we’ve pumped into the air for the last 200 years.
