“The catch is that we still don't have many field studies, and so it hasn't really been proven even at a local level, let alone at scale. And it's, I It's probably pretty hard to quantify how much CO₂ is actually being removed via that pathway. There are many people working on devising approaches for that, but I would say it's definitely an emerging technology and it's not yet at a point where it's been fully proven but I do understand the excitement around it.”
