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.

      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.

      Ahh cant wait to have CO2 cycles like we do El nino and el nina…

      Quarterly reports are in, profits are booming! We will be cutting fuel production, hence stagnating metric tons of CO2 in the air until the next quarterly reports!
