Kevin, you just pinpointed the exact difference between "Political Green" and "Industrial Green."
In the West (System A), decarbonization is treated as a Tax—ESG compliance, carbon credits, expensive regulations. It adds cost to the product. It is inflationary.
In China (System B), as this sCO2 generator proves, decarbonization is treated as Efficiency. They aren't doing this to save the polar bears. They are doing it to turn their biggest waste product (Heat) into their most expensive input (Electricity).
Think about the lethality of this. That steel mill in Guizhou just turned a cost center into a profit center. They effectively lowered their marginal cost of production even further.
While Western factories are hiring ESG consultants to write reports, Chinese factories are installing hardware to recycle entropy. You can’t compete with a competitor who turns their exhaust pipe into a cash register. This is Industrial Negentropy in action.
😀 😃
fascinating!( the smart alternative to carbon sequestering).

This looks like it would work well for nuclear power plants too.
