to a purpose—built facility where the c02 is stripped away in a chemical process. it's then compressed and stored two miles underground. the system here stops around two—thirds of the c02 from reaching the atmosphere. last year, that was three quarters of a million tons. other projects are even more efficient. so couldn't we just ramp this up a notch or two and solve climate crisis for good? well, in theory, that would need tens of thousands more of these and today, we have fewer than 30 worldwide and sort of the same number again promised for the next 20 years. and it seems ccs, at least so far, is not a big winner. despite concerted efforts over the last two decades, really, it hasn't taken off as a successful, economically viable technology at commercial scales, and that's because it's very costly — you know, you can't fit carbon capture
