Is capturing carbon directly from power plants possible? And is there any useful applications for the captured carbon?

Question

Title.

I feel like the only way electric cars can be truly “environment friendly” is if the carbon produced is captured at the plants.

Not sure if it’s at all possible, though.

It would take more power to capture than you get from emitting the carbon, so the most effective way to capture the carbon is to not emmit it in the first place.
