Well the images of power plants as well as statements like > Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) refers to a chain of different technologies aimed at capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO2), usually from large point sources of pollution like power plants or > Another drawback of carbon capture, usage and storage, is the considerable amount of extra power it requires, which would increase the cost of electricity Do give the distinct impression that they're talking about the production of energy (since 'increasing the cost of electricity' would be a weird way to phrase a pure increase in demand). If it was purely talking about processes that also happen to release CO2 then it doesn't make sense to solely talk about carbon capture vs. renewable energy like this article does as that's not an alternative. Now carbon capture might still be necessary in a fossil fuel free world, but the article puts no real arguments forward why that would be the case.
