They show the truth in (parts of) the article yet still put a bullshit title like that on it.

i.e., there is no net reduction in atmospheric carbon as they are using the
fraction of "captured" CO2 to extract even more carbon - carbon that is
currently being stored securely!
- for the sole purpose of combustion and
thus release back to the atmosphere.

"CCS" is a scam and that article hides the truth in plain sight.
