If this is a serious concern for anyone, it looks like carbon capture runs around $22/ton. So this is an $11 problem.

Do you mean offsets (which don’t really do anything)? Because carbon capture is more expensive than that.

For reference, carbon capture and sequestration goes for >$250/ton at the moment from reputable suppliers.
