Some kind of DCC will likely be necessary to reduce the amount of CO₂ we’ve already pumped into the atmosphere. Continuing research and development on that front should absolutely continue however at the moment it’s a long way from being viable, that’s why it’s important to turn off the faucet before we reach for the mop.</p><p>CCS is what the oilcos are pitching, which is more about capturing a waste product from their process and literally injecting it back into the ground in order to extract <em>more</em> oil. Somehow this is going to benefit us. 🤨</p>
