Carbon capture needed to meet 1.5 deg. C. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/05/25/carbon-capture-needed-to-keep-mercury-rise-below-1-5-c/
GHG emissions (g CO2 equivalent / kWh) 25.1 — Extract, enrich and deliver fuel 8.2 — Plant construction 11.6 — Plant operation 9.2 — Spent fuel conditioning and storage 12.0 — Deconstruct plant and reclaim land Since a typical NPP puts out 1000 MW, multiply the above by 1 million to get grams CO2 equivalent

Biofuelspk said, “… natural gas which is 84 times worse for climate change compared to CO2.” I’ve read the numbers

Climeworks raises $650 million article Samuel Soroaster Said, ” The entropy is too big to make it energy efficient. Better to use concentrated sources.” By entropy, I assume you mean that the CO2 is too diluted to make it efficient enough to pay back the effort. Okay, so what do we do? Wait until hell

This authoritative source explains the sources of greenhouse gases. I was surprised about nitrous oxide. Quote: << Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years.1 >> Overview: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/overview-greenhouse-gases It has a link to an annual report “Inventory of US greenhouse gas emissions
