A comment on Catching CO2 from trucks and reducing their emissions by 90%.

You recapture CO2 at the expense of increased fossil fuel consumption due to lower payload capacity. Is this really better than just going straight to electric transports?

Edit: Assuming you can fuel the trucks with the product of the CO2 to fuel conversion, is it still better than electric?

it can be way better if that system can be retrofitted on existing trucks.

Sounds like an inverse rocket equation problem.
