    If you’re going to capture any of it, you should build your capture factory right next to the source such as a blast furnace. In normal air the concentration is so low that you end up playing that game in hard mode.

      How about make the polluting company purchase this and plop it on top of their emissions tube?

      The rules will only say “no carbon emission”, and however a company wants to make that happen is up to them.

        This is the way I would want to see it happen. If pollution tax is high enough, it will incentivize companies to act more reasonably. Hopefully coal power plants will shut down permanently while blast furnaces will be modified to meet the new requirements. Processing all of that CO2 won’t be cheap, but steel production has to continue so the company doesn’t really have that many options. The government could also support the transition so that production won’t disappear into other countries.
