https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/carbon-capture-solved-by-software/ > Most scenarios for a clean-energy future rely on carbon capture—taking CO2 emissions from their sources, such as power plants, then sequestering them underground or converting the carbon into a usable product like smart concrete. While making carbon capture economically viable has long faced significant challenges, this environmentally friendly technology may finally be on the threshold of success. > There’s been a resurgence of interest in CO2 sequestration recently in the United States, mostly because the federal government increased corporate tax credits. For businesses, the pitch is straightforward: spend money on carbon-capture technology in the short term, then earn a tax credit on every metric ton of CO2 prevented from entering the atmosphere. With larger emitters able to capture millions of tons each year, this quickly becomes profitable, while at the same time reducing greenhouse emissions. It’s a true win-win for all.
