One of my personal friends has a very large ranch. Like 10,000 acres. He has been contacted by a large o&g company about storing carbon underground.
My company is pursuing something called circularity. Basically converting methane into Hydrogen.
The smart people I know carry the title of Fellow. Only 3-4 in a company of tens of thousands. They all tell me that it’s coming. Not zero emissions, because that is not possible. But very much reduced emissions, carbon credits, carbon capture. Things will cost more, but everybody has to play by the same rules.
It really doesn’t matter much at this point. If we 100% stopped emitting all man made GHG emissions it would take hundreds of years to start to see overall reductions. It will still get warmer and warmer during that time. That ship sailed decades ago. The only thing we can do is adapt, prepare for rising sea levels, slow our emissions, and hope some kind of technology will emerge that will allow us to start removing carbon and GHG from the atmosphere.
I don’t know what that will look like, because removing carbon takes massive amounts of energy.
