there is a long discussion on this on reddit. first this is a proof of concept. technology improves with time and so on. at this stage itself, it is capable of controlling carbon emissions that would take a forest cover 1000 times the size of the factory. you have to start somewhere. and work on various angles if you want to control climate change.

The Orca facility does the work of 200,000 trees in 1,000 times less space
 
But the technology is too expensive. And it would take a very long time for it to mature and be less expensive - the time we don't have.

Kalmus thinks carbon capture ultimately distracts the world from other solutions that would make a bigger dent in emissions, like investment in renewables and regulations targeting the fossil-fuel industry.

"Fossil-fuel companies love carbon capture because it really does let them off the hook," he said.
