Industrial carbon capture is a climate strategy environmentalists love to hate. Those committed to its development are trying to win back allies they sorely need.

    Well the only long term storage solution is effectively making blocks of coal. Which requires a bunch of energy via non-carbon sources.

    The chemistry for carbon capture from the atmosphere is far less efficient than carbon capture at the source but turning off the sources is a much better solution.

    That all being said, as long we as a society retains access to above an EROEI of 30, it is a viable option but below that; not a chance in hell.
