A CO2 capture solvent with exceptionally low total costs of capture

For electricity generation, it'll be cheaper to build low-carbon generators. For long-distance jet travel, it's probably cheapest to turn the captured CO2 into fuel. For emissions from concrete, ambient capture and sequestration might be best.

The great thing about a price on carbon is that the market would sort all this out.

The emissions from concrete come from limestone kilns, which are even easier to capture the CO2 from than coal power plants.

Ah, interesting.

Agriculture is a pretty diffuse source though. And ultimately, we need to take CO2 levels back down to 350ppm or so.

Oh, for sure.
