CO2 capture is cool

Since our mission is to reduce carbon emission (ha ha no pun intended), either we stop generating carbon or we don't let it warm the planet. I do believe that the focus and efforts on capturing the carbon from the atmosphere and then sequestering it or storing it also populary known as carbon capture is definitely worth investing and pursuing. It should help us achieve Net Zero goal by 2050. There are various technologies developed that allow us do that. In fact, that is what the forsts and green spaces do by converting carbon into bio form. Now, man made technologies can achieve similar goal. We can capture upto 90% of CO2 emissions from power plants and industrial facilities.
