It would be nice if a company or government focused on capturing the CO2 and not releasing it again.

Climeworks and Carbfix do that:

  1. capture atmospheric CO2
  2. dissolve the CO₂ in water – sparkling water of sorts
  3. pump it underground into basalt rock
  4. there it forms solid carbonate minerals via natural processes

I hope techniques like these become included in carbon pricing. They cause negative emissions = they get paid.
