Catching CO2 from trucks and reducing their emissions by 90%

This will probably not work because the joules maths does not add up:

It's a cool student project though, and could possibly work on a large scale if we actually had a solution for the fundamental energy problem.

I don't follow your logic. Could you explain your thoughts a bit more please ?

It's okay to collect the CO2, but what source of energy will be used to reverse the C -> CO2 reaction? Renewables and even nuclear are by far insufficient.

Global warming is fundamentally a problem of sourcing enough energy in a different way than we used to. And the world/technology is nowhere near ready.
