In Illinois, a massive taxpayer-funded carbon capture project fails to capture about 90 percent of plant’s emissions

So this is that 90% of a factories CO2 emissions are not being captured by it’s on site carbon capture facility. (Not that the carbon capture plant is releasing emissions).

On my (quick) read of the article, I don’t think it said why that was. Was the plant at capacity, or did it have headroom, but the CO2 was just not being effectively captured to be stored?

These projects are just scams to place the responsibility on the individual and get them to pay for a false solution.

Are there some studies to back that claim?

Here is a video showing how the plastics/oil companies fooled american, the story is similar with carbon capture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK1BfPw7lnQ

Okay, I’ll believe that right away. I thought you were maybe talking about the technology in general. But now it seems like you were referring to these particular projects which are are abused for greenwashing instead of research and continuous improvement.
