While fossil fuels will be used for as long as they can be easily and economically produced, it should also be clear that their amounts are finite and that they are increasingly depleted. Adsorbents based on Ca(OH) 2 , NaOH, and combinations thereof have been suggested, but their regeneration is generally energy intensive.
