When the National Climate Assessment was released late last year, it said that the risk of catastrophic climate change was such that new tools had to be created to literally yank CO2 from atmosphere — to sequester it from ambient air. But what is being done to achieve this and is this technology feasible?

Study after study has concluded that climate change is primarily human-induced and that global average temperatures are the highest they have ever been. And if the level of heat-trapping emissions is not brought down, it will affect every dimension of human life — from energy production to water availability to infrastructure development.

“The emitting has gone on so long and has reached such scale that to avert a 2 degree rise, we need carbon capture and sequestration to be implemented across the globe,” says Sam Feinburg, chief operating officer and executive director of Helena that serves as a braintrust to solve climate issues — one that brings together financial, intellectual and political capital.

“We used to ask if this is feasible,” he continues, in an interview. “Now we know it is imminently feasible but the bigger question is, ‘will we get there in time.’ “It is very important that the world embrace this at scale. It is embryonic now. It will get there. We will accelerate that timeline.”

The 2018 National Climate Assessment — produced by 13 U.S. agencies — said that to keep temperature rises to 2 degree Celsius and 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit by mid century, public policy must help facilitate the development of low-to-no-carbon fuels to power utilities and vehicles. For those who think the economic cost of such a transition is too high, think again: The price of inaction, according to the authors, will be half-trillion dollars a year.
