I would never suggest this is the way forward, but the headline does say “help save”. I think a lot of this tech is BS. People put too much stock into things like carbon capture and other tech. But it might be a small piece of the solution
It might also be used as an inefficient way of papering over the cracks instead of addressing the root causes of the climate crisis.
