I know that there is ‘legacy carbon’ in the atmosphere that needs to get removed but why aren’t we leveraging carbon capture as part of industrial processes (e.g. at the factory’s smoke stack, for example). Or maybe we are already?

I worked at a manufacturing company with plants all across NA and they had carbon capture technology but rarely used it apparently because the maintenance slowed down production time so they literally installed it only before a compliance officer showed up. I worked on the product side so I don’t know the terminology really well but I was actually working on an initiative to track carbon emissions (their data was insanely outdated) so we could meet code and this is what some of the plant managers told me. Totally blew my mind that they had the tech but didn’t use it unless someone was checking.
