Oil & gas companies (in Aus anyways) have been lobbying governments to throw money at developing this technology. Pointing towards these sites as success stories.

While i can see the benefits of carbon capture, i reckon the millions could be much better spent on proven technologies to eliminate carbon generation in the first place.

CCS is literally like hiding things under the carpet. I see CCS as a bandage, not a real solution to the problem. While any action is better than nothing, focus should be that CCS wouldn't be needed at all.
