    the problem with carbon capture is it’s somewhat akin to saving money when you have loads of credit card debt. In order for it to make any sense at all you need the process to produce less carbon that powering it emits, which essentially means you have to power it with renewables, and until the world is on 100% renewables it would be better to just use them to replace fossil fuel production instead.
