This is delusional thinking. There is no future where humanity will be able to continue the way it has and still have a non hostile planet to call home.
The math does not add up for carbon capture tech.
There isn't some scientific silver bullet there that will increase the capture yield.
Building the infrastructure will also emit. Powering the installations will take a lot of energy. There would need to be enormous amounts of these capturing station built around the world for them to make any significant dent in what is already in the atmosphere.
The resources and effort required is so wast, and for so little gain, that we should rather use the alternatives that would give us much more for less.
Subsidize farmers to switch from cattle rearing to forestry for instance. Turn swaths of reclaimed land back to its original wilderness.
