Not all carbon-capture projects pay off for the climate – we mapped the pros and cons of each and found clear winners and losers

"Capturing carbon dioxide from the air or industries and recycling it can sound
like a win-win climate solution. The greenhouse gas stays out of the atmosphere
where it can warm the planet, and it avoids the use of more fossil fuels.

But not all carbon-capture projects offer the same economic and environmental
benefits. In fact, some can actually worsen climate change.

I lead the Global CO₂ Initiative at the University of Michigan, where my
colleagues and I study how to put captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) to use in ways
that help protect the climate. To help figure out which projects will pay off
and make these choices easier, we mapped out the pros and cons of the most
common carbon sources and uses."
