A New US Plant Will Use Captured CO2 to Make Millions of Gallons of Jet Fuel::Replacing half of a plane’s regular fuel with CO2-derived fuel can result in 90 percent fewer lifecycle emissions.

Agreed, it’s a half step forward. Leaving fossil fuels underground is still progress, even if we aren’t sequestering CO2 in the atmosphere.
I’m optimistic that building a market like this can drive design efficiency for direct air capture tech. If that efficiency is improved it could make capture and sequestration a more plausible option for govts in the future.
Fingers crossed!
