Scaling Carbon Capture

Re:Scaling Carbon Capture by joak on Monday November 22, 2021 @05:47PM (#29312511)

"As solar power gets cheaper and oil becomes more scarce, at some point this decade it will be cheaper to extract carbon from the air than to drill mile-deep holes in the crust on the other side of the world."

I don't know if it's in this decade but at some point making kerosene from CO2, water and electricity is going to become cheaper than making it from fossil fuels...

Unless you have a way of using kerosene that doesn't involve burning it, then the maximum amount of CO2 this process could remove from the atmosphere is 0.

Exactly, we are talking about carbone capture. Not carbon burying.
