…and liquid Hydrogen is not the best way to transport energy from point A to point B either. There are futuristic projects that may start happening in the next decade rather than during our decade. There will be huge solar plants in deserts + huge windfarms in places like the Baltic Sea or the Black Sea (as soon as the conflict in Ukraine is over of course) that will be transferred to the electricity grid of countries currently relying on natural gas and coal energy:
And I thing Arabs could be the leaders of these projects. They are currently spending their money on artificial islands and some other Artur C. Clarke cities like Neom in the desert. With ideas like this, they could start supplying the whole world with clean energy.

No, but I know a lot about the issue. The article says:
“While the amount of CO2 is a small fraction of what firms and climate advocates hope to trap at large fossil fuel plants, Climeworks says its venture is a first step in their goal to capture 1 percent of the world's global CO2 emissions with similar technology. To do so, there would need to be about 250,000 similar plants, the company says.”
