    Unless your grid is running on 100% renewables and has excess capacity carbon capture causes net positive emissions.

      This is just another attempt at greenwashing. They’re presenting carbon capture as a way to keep burning fossil fuels. Until our energy generation is fully decarbonised, there’s no point even thinking about carbon capture.

        I mean, someone needs to be thinking about it and perhaps even building infrastructure so it can be used once the grid is clean but it’s not something that should be in use
