## Summary

Dr. Chris Bataille, a researcher at the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDDRI) and professor at Simon Fraser University, explains why point source carbon capture and storage (CCS) is recovering after past failures. He distinguishes between high-concentration sources like natural gas processing, where costs are low ($15-20/ton), and difficult post-combustion applications like cement, which cost $80-150/ton. Bataille argues CCS is essential for decarbonizing cement and chemicals, while discussing the role of Net Power's technology and the necessity of direct air capture for net-negative emissions.
