Yes, but it is only half the solution. Having collected the CO2, what is the
cost of storing it safely for geological time scales?
Also, we are going to need to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, not just flue
gases if we want to get back to our original climate.

I'm sure we'll see any number of such hare-brained schemes until humanity
eithrt abandons the idea of everlasting economic growth, or it's enforced by
our Planet with rather less ceremony.
