Is carbon capture a viable solution?
5 Billion Cubic Meters of Oil are produced Annually by humanity.<p>30Bn Tons of CO2 generated.<p>60% is un-sequesterable because it is small and&#x2F;or mobile.<p>40% is sequestrable and large scale&#x2F;stationary.<p>12 Billion Cubic Meters of CO2 are thus sequestrable.<p>You must liquefy CO2 before putting it into the ground.<p>50% -70% efficiency in converting it to a liquid that we can shove into the ground.<p>6 to 8.4 Billion Cubic Meters of Liquefied CO2 are thus Sequestrable.<p>Shoving 6 to 8.4 billion cubic meters of liquefied CO2 into ground is no small matter.<p>Think about it this way, humanity built an entire industry focused on an annual extraction of 5Bn Cubic Meters of Oil over a time span of 100+ years with refineries and complex processes spanning multiple countries, geographies, regulations, wars, and land rights.<p>Also, who’s going to buy sequestered carbon?<p>The reality is that something like this will require spinning up an entire Trillion dollar market.
