If you'll achieve that then this has to be done. France has a CO2 emissions of about 5ton per capita per year (which is pretty low for an industrial nation). But if we get all industrial countries into that ballpark or even lower, then we could just invest another $500 per person each year and are at net zero.

Thanks for the comment. Companies that are very action-oriented on slashing their emissions are already starting to look to CO2 removal projects as the next frontier to maximize their impact, now that the lowest-hanging emissions reductions are complete. Public sector entities (cities, states/provinces, countries) may be in the wings.

We agree that eliminating CO2 emissions must be the primary & most urgent goal, while CO2 removal solutions like ours can be developed in parallel to meet immediate early market demand & prepare (e.g. get costs down, validate & improve the tech, get the regulations set up) for future deployment.
