As usually bandied about, 'CCS' is not net removal of CO2, it is low(er) emission fossil combustion.
It could be. It's just a matter of cost and whether you're capturing CO2 from power plant effluent or the atmosphere. If someone wants to pay $10 for a gallon of gasoline so $7 goes toward removing 15kg of CO2 from the atmosphere (10kg for the gasoline and 5kg for the energy needed to remove the 10kg). I'm ok with that as long as this is 'permanent' sequestration where the carbon is bound in rock not just underground in a gas pocket.
