Something on the lines of if your company facility is using over X amount of energy the majority of that has to be from a green source such as solar power. What would happen and is this feasible or am I totally thinking about this wrong

    You mean “carbon offset”, not “carbon capture”. Carbon capture is where you extract carbon out of the air and make concrete or something else out of it. Capture isn’t widely done but likely will be soon.

    Carbon offsets are very useful. They paid for a sizeable portion of the solar installation on my home for example. Which has cut my household power emissions by about two thirds and that’s with us selling about 80% of the generated power to the grid (where it reduces emissions for other households).
