What are some technologies that you know to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?

What are some promising technologies that you know to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?<p>I keep hearing that CCS has always been a failure and is continuing to be a failure.<p>So what are some promising technologies that you know to remove CO2 from the atmosphere that you think are scalable enough to help?<p>Thanks.

This video explains why carbon capture is not a feasible solution, based on the limits of physics: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;mCnr0HwW28w" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;mCnr0HwW28w</a><p>Summary:<p>- Carbon capture and storage technologies are not economically viable or scalable enough to meaningfully address climate change. The costs of capturing and storing large volumes of CO2 are prohibitively high.<p>- The scale of CO2 emissions is immense - about 50 billion tons per year globally. Capturing even a small fraction of this would require massive, costly infrastructure.<p>- Storing captured CO2 underground is challenging and expensive. There are no easy or cheap solutions for long-term storage.<p>- Relying on natural carbon sinks like plants or algae is not a viable solution, as the captured carbon is eventually released back into the atmosphere.<p>- The author is highly skeptical of claims that carbon capture technologies can have a significant impact on climate change, dismissing them as &quot;greenwashing&quot; and &quot;vaporware.&quot;<p>- The author argues that the free market will naturally choose the cheaper option of simply releasing CO2 into the atmosphere rather than paying the high costs of capture and storage.<p>- The author is critical of climate change denialism and the &quot;seductive lies&quot; told by those who dismiss the scientific evidence.<p>- The author acknowledges that future generations will have to deal with the consequences of the current generation&#x27;s unsustainable energy use and emissions.<p>- The author suggests that public perception and psychology play a major role in the lack of action on climate change, with people preferring to believe comforting lies over inconvenient truths.<p>- Overall, the passage presents a bleak assessment of the feasibility and likelihood of large-scale carbon capture and storage being implemented to meaningfully address climate change.
