I'm conflicted. This is clearly better than what we have but I was really hoping for a carbon negative future. I hope projects like this are a stepping stone and not a handbrake on progress.
- ahje 8y agoIf it breaks our dependency on fossil fuels then I'm all for it.
- rorykoehler 8y agoYe on reflection and reading more comments from the founder I'm tentatively positive on this. Localised air pollution from burning of fuels and globally elevated co2 levels are two distinct problems. Solving one is already a big step in the right direction.
- ahje 8y agoPrecisely! Replacing all gasoline and diesel engines, if that's even possible, will take decades. We need something other than fossil fuels for them in the mean time.
- hyperbovine 8y agoThis does not displace a carbon negative future. And zero minus current emissions is still a negative number.
- graeme 8y agoWouldn’t this help carbon negativity eventually? The world can just pay to sequester fuel produced this way, and bring concentrations down to preindustrial levels.
