A New US Plant Will Use Captured CO2 to Make Millions of Gallons of Jet Fuel::Replacing half of a plane’s regular fuel with CO2-derived fuel can result in 90 percent fewer lifecycle emissions.

    Yeah, though it’s better than releasing new CO2 that is still in the ground. Just re-releasing already released CO2.

    It would be nice if a company or government focused on capturing the CO2 and not releasing it again.

      It would be nice if a company or government focused on capturing the CO2 and not releasing it again.

      Climeworks and Carbfix do that:

      1. capture atmospheric CO2
      2. dissolve the CO₂ in water – sparkling water of sorts
      3. pump it underground into basalt rock
      4. there it forms solid carbonate minerals via natural processes

      I hope techniques like these become included in carbon pricing. They cause negative emissions = they get paid.
