The ONLY sense now CO2 capture that makes any sense is at the sources..The Worst stationer offenders are cement plants.
Here from Wikipedia:” A rotary kiln of 6 x 100 m makes 8,000–10,000 tonnes per day, using about 0.10-0.11 tonnes of coal fuel for every tonne of clinker produced”. [ generating] 0.6 Tons. of CO2 for each ton of cement .
So why ON EARTH build a very expensive plant in the boondocks that takes a YEAR -to capture what such plant produces in FIFTEEN MINUTES! The HUGE concentration at source almost dictates, collect the super concentrated CO2 at the plant- Not out in the boonies, just to collect misdirected government greenwash, AKA- my taxes ! !
We must waste NO More.

PS. We réutilisé 2nd hand industrial equipment. Re-Use IS the best green!
PS. Why not get the heat needed to “extract the CO2 from the absorbant materials” from the waste heat from the cement kilns?
