    Ah that scam of carbon offsets. Guys let us pollute a little bit more, we promise we’ll pull it out of the air later.

      This is about carbon capture and storage (which takes energy and concrete and by this report doubles the carbon impact of just burning the coal).

        Yeah its largely a thing for carbon offset regulations. Like if you emit too much you owe fees but if you “offset” your emissions in some way you can deduct that from your emissions. Stuff like paying tree planting organizations, and imvesting carbon capture technology. The carbon offset scheme dont work, we have to emit less
