It's nonsense like this that makes a more rational debate around carbon capture difficult.
Yes, CCS will likely have to play some role in a future decarbonized society, e.g. for cement production. But it's not a plausible lifeline for fossil fuel companies. The vast bulk of emission reductions need to come from phasing down fossil fuel use, and that is fundamentally incompatible with their business model.

- bushwik 3y ago> It's nonsense like this that makes a more rational debate around carbon capture difficult. such a great point and couldn't agree more. in the US, I'm seeing more ethanol & chemical companies adopting carbon capture right now, not fossil fuel companies. it will be interesting to see how it evolves in the next couple years. > (shameless self plug: I tried to write down my view on the whole CCS issue recently: https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/can-ccs-escape-from https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/can-ccs-escape-from... ) subscribed! and you can follow some of the north america projects at https://decarbonfuse.com https://decarbonfuse.com
