There's no profit in it. That's why it's not happening.

Do you actually think if resources companies possessed real technology for removing Co2 from the atmosphere it wouldn't be profitable right now?
They do and it isn't, because nobody will pay for it because there is no individual benefit. Or even an individual way to verify that it is happening.

The US Navy have some rather nice CO2-to-jetfuel technology. It just costs more than getting it from oil.

Of course. It's always going to be much more costly than not emitting it in the first place, and that isn't profitable.
