Capturing pre-combustion CO2 misses out on health-related benefits


Capturing carbon dioxide from pre-combustion natural gas (https://politi.co/47gbJSE ) does not have the same co-benefits for reduced health-related effects from emissions as capturing CO2 from exhaust gasses. I’m not for the perfect being the enemy of the good, but maybe public investment should encourage more exhaust capture since this will have immediate health-related benefits and similar climate mitigation to this pre-combustion capture. This seems to be a carbon permit finance-related low-hanging-fruit-type project in CA.
