This thing produces ethylene, so there’s a huge temptation to use it for CCU, instead of CCS. I guess you could still turn that into more stable forms, such as plastic, but don’t we already have too much of that.
Carbon Capture and Utilization = Capture the CO2, turn it into fuel, burn it and return to square one of the climate crisis.
Carbon Capture and Storage = Basically like digging up coal and burning it, but in reverse. The end result is less CO2 in the atmosphere and more carbon locked away underground.

CCU, CCS?
