A team of scientists has figured out how to convert planet-warming carbon dioxide into a harmless powdery fuel that could be converted into clean electricity
The big problem with physical carbon storage is that we emit way too much to ever have enough land to store it all as powder. All of these technologies work great at the demonstration scale, but when you do the math and see how much solid carbon you’d have it becomes a problem of not having anywhere to put it, and our existing demand for elemental carbon in manufacturing is comparatively tiny
