Decarbonisation is not about removing Carbon overnight!

Decarbonisation Is Not About Removing Carbon Overnight — It Is About Removing Fossil Carbon from the System Much of today’s global tension — economic, political, and even military — traces back to one deeply embedded belief: That energy security depends on controlling oil and gas. Energy has been framed as a matter of national security because fossil fuels are: • finite, • unevenly distributed, • extractive, • and geographically constrained. This framing has shaped geopolitics for decades — and it is based on a false premise. Energy itself is not scarce. Access to fossil carbon is. When energy systems depend on extraction, competition becomes inevitable. When they depend on circulation, competition fades. The false narrative The idea that a nation’s security depends on oil and gas control is not a law of nature. It is a consequence of how we designed the energy system. This misunderstanding has led to: • conflicts over reserves, • strategic shipping routes, • price volatility, • and perpetual instability. In reality, tying national security to fossil fuels is not a strength — it is a systemic vulnerability. What Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) changes CRT addresses the problem at its root. It does not attempt to eliminate carbon from industry or energy systems. Instead, it does something far more fundamental: It removes fossil carbon from the system, slowly but permanently. Captured CO₂ is recycled into usable fuel using renewable energy. That fuel produces energy — and CO₂ again. The CO₂ is recaptured and recycled. Carbon atoms circulate. Fossil extraction steadily declines. Existing infrastructure continues to operate, while the source of carbon feeding the system quietly changes. This is not a disruption. It is a system correction. Why does this restore true energy security When energy is produced from: • local renewable sources, • recycled carbon, • closed-loop fuel cycles, Then energy security no longer depends on: • owning reserves, • controlling supply chains, • or projecting force. Energy becomes distributed, resilient, and non-weaponisable. CRT replaces the logic of scarcity with the logic of circulation. Beyond climate — toward stability The world is not fighting because energy demand exists. It is fighting because the current energy model rewards control and extraction. Decarbonisation done properly does more than cut emissions: • it removes the incentive for conflict, • reduces strategic dependence, • and restores long-term stability. Carbon is not the enemy. Fossil carbon dependency is. A quiet but irreversible transition CRT does not promise an overnight change. It enables a gradual withdrawal from fossil carbon without collapsing systems. Power plants still run. Industries still operate. But with each cycle, fossil inputs lose relevance. As fossil carbon fades from the system, the false link between energy and national security dissolves with it.
