Heavy dependence on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to reach net zero targets around 2050 would be “hugely economically damaging”, costing at least $30 trillion more than a route based on renewable energy, energy efficiency and electrification.

      Lol. You can decarbonize a lot more cheaply by not burning fossil fuels in the first place. Carbon Capture should be a small and expensive part of what we do

        Like “we have done all we can, this just needs scrubbed” kinda thing? Absolutely

          Yes, there’s a place for it there, but it’s mostly marketed as “we could do this, so just keep on burning fossil fuels” which simply won’t work

          I agree. Carbon capture should be used to offset really hard to replace uses of fossil fuels, like aircraft.

    Just grow some crops and turn them into alcohol. We should be able to store that pretty long and pretty easily without problems. Its the most efficient way.
