Could a global waste disposal service for carbon emissions exist?
In short: Bas Sudmeijer proposes a radical shift in climate strategy: building international networks to share the burden of trapping carbon dioxide deep underground.
Sudmeijer suggests that instead of isolated efforts, cities worldwide should form partnerships to share the costs and geological resources required for carbon capture. This model treats carbon emissions as a global waste problem, aiming to stall climate change by creating a coordinated infrastructure to trap CO2 in the earth's crust.
The proposal highlights a move toward collective responsibility, where the logistical and financial weight of carbon sequestration is distributed across international borders.
