- ZeroGravitas 6y agoTheres working examples, however they use the captured CO2 to get more oil out of nearly exhausted oil wells, so its a bit of a non-solution. We will probably need to capture carbon but it'll be cheaper to use renewables or nuclear to provide the energy than burn oil. Even if you use fossil fuels as an input (say because youre capturing methane that would otherwise escape i to the atmosphere), you can do stuff like break them down into grapgite and hydrogen so you getha clean burning fuel and useful material.
