Is this what is meant by reducing carbon emissions?

Our factory is an ammonia synthesis plant that produces liquid ammonia, using pressure swing adsorption to remove carbon dioxide. We have now engaged a gas recovery company to purify and liquefy carbon dioxide, but for use in making carbonated beverages. Does this count as carbon dioxide emission reduction?
I guess so. You were originally supposed to release it as waste, but now it’s being used to make carbonated drinks!
Although the carbon dioxide in that carbonated beverage will eventually be released into the atmosphere anyway, if you don’t provide it, it will have to be obtained through other means. If currently your flow rate is 100 tons per day, and the two of you together emit 100 tons, then before starting to cooperate, the two of you would have emitted 200 tons in total.
I think it’s necessary to define the scope of calculation; for your company, it does indeed result in a reduction in carbon emissions.
Yes, for your company, carbon dioxide emissions have indeed been reduced.
The key is to reduce emissions and consume fewer carbonated drinks. Ultimately, so-called emission reductions or excess emissions are determined by human lifestyles; it is humans who need to change themselves if emission reductions are to be achieved, otherwise the extinction of life on Earth is only a matter of time. Hehe, I’m exaggerating!
