There are steps to this
1) Can we do it?
2) Can we do it and produce net energy? (shitloads of power are needed to contain it)
3) Can we do it on a large scale?
4) Can we do it for profit?
5) Can we do it over a long time or will shit shit break down?

If you guys want an actual interesting discovery look up the Allam cycle. Some engineer found a way to burn natural gas in a pure oxygen environment and produce no air pollutants. Or a supercritical carbon dioxide power plant.

They built a plant a few years ago in texas I think? To see if its commercially viable and it was. Now they are in negotiations for 2 more plants

>"The company has since entered into a series of notable agreements that point to a potential pipeline of developing AFC projects. In April 2021, 8 Rivers unveiled plans for two 280-MW NET Power natural gas–fired plants in the U.S. These include the Coyote Clean Power Project in southwest Colorado, which will be located within the Southern Ute Indian Reservation, and the Broadwing Clean Energy Complex, which 8 Rivers is developing in partnership with agricultural and processing firm Archer-Daniels-Midlands Co. (ADM) at an existing CO2 storage facility site in Decatur, Illinois. When announced, the company suggested final investment decisions on the two projects were separately expected in 2022, and power production was expected in 2025."
