Amen. Take their plan to capture CO2 using calcium oxide, then use the product to make concrete. Well how do you make concrete? The first thing you do is take limestone (CaCO3), crush and heat it to 900 degrees for several hours, which drives off the CO2 and makes….calcium oxide. Then you wet the cement, mix it with rocks, which reacts with CO2 to make concrete. So this technology cannot capture more CO2 than it creates and generally produces a whole lot MORE due to the heating.
