    Except it won’t be.

    None of the things you’ve described increase the carbon output.

    What chemical reaction gets more carbon out than it puts in?
    (Where do these new carbon atoms come from, fusion?)

    If anything, those other products include non-gaseous compounds which sequester the carbon from the fuel into a solid resulting in a net-negative amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere.

    Those side-products are not good, I’m not saying otherwise, but they are not additional carbon.

      Right. Because none of it is a fucking coal mine. Which is the only thing that can provide “carbon output”. Except a diamond mine, of course.
