Using a huge amount of energy to capture a little bit of CO2, then burning more energy to package and ship it so the customer can eat it and fart it out again as CO2.
At least with other capture methods the end result stays captured and isn't dragged around the world. I don't see the benefit here.
- PretzelPirate 2y agoThe proper comparison isn't with other CO2 capture programs, it's with the environmentla impact of butter, both dairy and non-dairy. Dairy is a large contributor to greenhouse gasses, so if this can reduce the environmental impact of butter by convincing enough people to stop eating dairy butter, it can have a net positive outcome.
- red-iron-pine 2y agoin that case why not just force more vegetable-oil based margarines? grow veg, press, whip, ship, eat. no fancy tech needed, and no pretentions of capturing CO2 (but not really), and an overall lower use compared to cows or capture.
