"136 million tons of capacity by 2040" is 0.136 gigatons, 1/400th of our current emissions.
This technology will help us handle the very last, most difficult to decarbonize parts of our industrial civilization. It's nowhere near effective enough to do anything more than that.
- tunesmith 7y agoOur world current emissions are 54 gigatons / year? Yikes. I thought we were at 35-40, my numbers must be out of date. edit: still can't find evidence for >50. Latest numbers I see are 37.1 from 2018. Can you link a source?
