A New US Plant Will Use Captured CO2 to Make Millions of Gallons of Jet Fuel::Replacing half of a plane’s regular fuel with CO2-derived fuel can result in 90 percent fewer lifecycle emissions.

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

Climeworks and Carbfix do that:

capture atmospheric CO2
dissolve the CO₂ in water – sparkling water of sorts
pump it underground into basalt rock
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.
