Graphyte, a new company incubated by Bill Gates’s investment group Breakthrough Energy Ventures, announced Monday that it has created a method for turning bits of wood chips and rice hulls into low-cost, dehydrated chunks of plant matter. Those blocks of carbon-laden plant matter — which look a bit like shoe-box sized Lego blocks — can then be buried deep underground for hundreds of years.
This is what utopia calls for.
But it will not happen anywhere near a timeline to conduct climate crisis changes.
Period.
Thats the same delusional argument as “take down half of humanity - problem solved”
Edit: it reads far more aggressive than I meant it. Ill apologize in advance.
I agree obsiously on the port if not burning stuff for nee things. But existing industry wont got away anytime soon.
The high cost of CCS means that almost all for-profit business faced with a choice between installing it and replacing their facilities with new ones which don’t burn stuff is going to end up doing the latter. There are a handful of exceptions where the high operating cost of CCS might make it worthwhile, but they’re a minority of what needs doing.
