Why is it difficult to develop a large scale and energy efficient carbon capture technology?
In: Earth Science
Energy created from a carbon based source (coal, biofuels, propane) electricity but the amount of electricity required to remove all of the carbon is greater than the energy produced in the first place.
Combining carbon capture with renewables (solar, wind, hydro, tidal) would require significant investment, but what product are you able to sell?
How does this work as a business?
Once we can effectively answer the last two questions, or create a market for captured carbon, then you will see the product developed more.
