Climate Letter #1189

The cost of removing carbon from the atmosphere is coming down.  A full scientific study has been published with all the details about a process that should make it possible to capture CO2 at a cost as low as $100 per ton when large-scale production has been optimized.  That would be considerably lower than current estimates of around $600 per ton using the previously best existing methods.  Bill Gates is a backer of this project.  The captured CO2 would at first most likely be converted to liquid fuels by other processes that are also being improved, with the hope of eventually finding a home for it that is truly permanent, not just recycled.  The story is well-covered in this article from The Atlantic.

George Monbiot, writing for The Guardian, weighs in with comments on a recent study about how the modern diet is ruining the environment and greatly exacerbating carbon emissions.  (Several recent Climate Letters have reported on the same subject.)  George has a background that gives him exceptionally strong perspectives on this issue, enabling simple explanations of many of the relationships involved.
