Even if we went to zero emissions soon, we'd still want to decrease CO2 over time to reverse the effects of climate change. Capturing co2 is always going to be much more energy intensive than not emitting it in the first place, but sometimes you don't have another choice.

yup, turns out burning coal is us literally releasing carbon that was already captured and stored ages ago.
