The world’s biggest plant to pull carbon from the sky just opened
wapo.st
Experts say we’ll need carbon capture to offset stubborn emissions that can’t easily be cut with existing green technology.

the plant is designed to remove 36,000 metric tons of carbon each year, the equivalent of taking 8,600 cars off the road.

In short, for removal like this to make a meaningful difference, and not just function as a PR exercise, we’ll need to cut emissions to almost zero.

    Good luck cutting emissions to zero with the amount of energy required for carbon capture to work.

      If it gets used in any meaningful way, it’ll be for cleaning up what we can after we stop using fossil fuels
