So far DACC is a scam. The energy costs to capture carbon have always proven near as high or higher than the energy gained from burning fossil fuels. It's always been unviable and treating any of it as anything but research projects is 100% bs.
Fossil fuel companies have vested interests in perpetuating the myth that we can clean up our mess after the fact. Think about how insane this proposition is! How can a world that has to drastically reconfigure itself to run on a renewables eroei of roughly 3 to 1, find the surplus energy to recapture capture carbon when the 100:1 eroei of fossil fuels are no longer available? The superorganism known as human civilization won't have the surplus energy to handle its own metabolic needs and recapture carbon.
A surface gusher of light sweet crude used to give 100:1. The last 30 years have seen eroei decline from 30-1 to 18-1 today as an average with tight oil going as low as 5-1.
This article is false hope. Sickly sweet paliative medicine given to terminal patients. There there dear. Your suffering will soon be over and everything will be beautiful again in the afterlife.
Hopefully a nano tech evolves where carbon connects to a material and we somehow slough it of in stage 2 of the process
We already have that nanotech, photosynthesis. A process perfected over billions of years to be as efficient as possible. It works so well that gigatons of carbon was captured and then trapped in underground.
The problem is that capturing carbon is literally un-burning it, by plant or by nanobot you have to rip the oxygen off of carbon and make sure they stay that way. That process consumes energy, it is working up hill against entropy. Burning carbon to form CO2 is downhill all the way, you give it a push and it's self sustaining.
Unless you have a power source that exceeds all fossil fuel burning processes, by like 10x, you can never capture carbon at a meaningful rate. (And if you DO have that 10x clean energy source, you already don't need to burn more carbon)
I don't mean biological process, I mean actual nano science, like fuel cell membrane that strips hydrogen on its own
Evolution doesn't necessitate something to be "as efficient as possible".
