Our demand for energy will prolong the use of fossil fuels because there is no real alternative. This is particularly true in growing parts of Asia, such as China and India, who continue to build new coal and gas power plants at a rapid pace. Renewables, after trillions of dollars of subsidies, provide roughly three percent of our energy consumption. Fossil fuels cannot be replaced by renewables. The most practical way to decarbonize, then, is through Carbon Capture. CCUS makes the use of fossil fuels carbon-neutral. It is a pragmatic solution to our decarbonization challenges. Those that argue CCUS prolongs the use of fossil fuels fail to understand that the same argument could be made of planting trees, or any CO2 removal method. The more trees we plant, one could argue, the longer we can continue using fossil fuels.  Nobody would ever make such an assertion publicly, but the logic holds true if we accept the premise that by removing CO2 from the atmosphere or avoiding putting it there we can continue business-as-usual. CarbonKerma doesn’t believe in business-as-usual. We believe in practical solutions to known problems.
