eli5: Why isn’t carbon capture used at emission sources?

1.28K views

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?

One of the largest sources of carbon emissions is as a result of concrete settling and curing in place on construction sites. There really is no way to capture that.
