I’m very interested when a statement right off the bat throws out that we should completely and unquestionably stop using hydrocarbons which are the most efficient, portable, easy to use and safe source of energy we have ever seen. Not to mention it’s current absolute requirement in long range transport, making plastics, lubricants and production of composites that make the efficient renewable powered machines possible.
How is it some people get a pass on willfully ignoring reality just because the goal is reducing emissions?
So on the topic, you better hope recovering CO2 is efficient because we won’t stop using oil until it’s gone.

Also given sufficient energy input they could also be outputs of a capture process...
