Reply to comment by eat_more_ovaltine in Exxon’s bad reputation got in the way of its industry-wide carbon capture proposal by Sorin61

The oil and gas industry is sourcing it from natural gas. I suppose you could produce it using emissions free energy, but you're probably better off just using that renewable energy directly .
