And it is excess carbon dioxide that causes global warming. Excess carbon dioxide that can be used to make fuel and whilst stored as fuel won't be in the atmosphere and thus reduce global warming ( climate change)
Many points in one post, but only a small part of your post talks about your carbon capture fuel.
Come back to me when engine development, fault diagnosis, servicing, repairs can be carried out via Zoom. Not everyone has an office job.

Cold engine is included in the emissions standard, because since WLTP came into force, the measurements are taken during the whole drive cycle from when the engine is started, to when it is switched off again. Measurements are also carried out in subzero temperatures with coolant and oil temperatures maintained at much lower than normal running temperatures.
I am currently diagnosing a problem on a customers engine. The dealership has done as much as they could by hooking it up to a computer, but without further equipment being added to the engine, a full diagnosis and tests can not be carried out. As this requires physical interaction, remote interaction is useless and pointless.How electric vehicles are rewriting the rules of diagnostics
From remote diagnostics to smart charging, we explore how electrified powertrains are changing the face of vehicle diagnostics, including how those working in service centers are being forced to adapt
It has the potential for another 14 years. Plus further developments can be retro fitted to already existing engines. Engine development doesn't stop the second an engine is launched to the market, testing and developing continues. It has to be tested for every single vehicle that it is installed in. Each vehicle has a different exhaust, different inlet system, and ancilliaries. That means a different engine calibration for each vehicle, Each and every installation set up has to be homologated.
In my case I do work what I would call locally. I live approximately 8 miles from work. The journey without slow traffic is less than 10 minutes in each direction. But there is no public transport that would get me there. Where I worked before I was relocated was about 8 miles in another direction, but meant a combination of buses and train to get there. That would take over an hour each way, or around 25 minutes by car. Neither my old job or current job can be done by remote, I have to physically be there.
With our staff working from home, the decision has been made that when things start returning to some normality, they will only be required to be at work two days a week. But to ensure social distancing is maintained, they won't all be working the same days. They will keep their own desks, to prevent cross contamination from sharing. Cost of office space isn't a problem when they own the building.
I realise that. But I was talking about what my employers plans are, just as you were about yours.
There's a reason for that.
Some people are slower than others on their realisation that I am right.I said not every, not none.

Why does ICE cars stink so much when the engine is cold?
They don't. Only cars poorly serviced or with a problem stink.
All diagnostic computers have their limitations. I had a Land Rover Discovery that had an air suspension fault; the dealer tried to fix it using their diagnostic computer. They replaced a compressor after the diagnostics said it was running too long. When I reported they had not fixed the problem I suggested they stick it on a hoist and listen...... one of the airbags had a leak, you could hear it if you got close enough.
There is nothing during a car service that requires plugging in a computer. That would only happen if there is a software update to improve something or cure a problem that has occurred in other cars and to ensure it doesn't happen in all the cars.
In winter, you can definitely notice much worse smell from ICE vehicles. Try standing near any busy slow moving traffic.
That’s a big claim without knowing all the technical details.
All that is included with the rest of the estate. I would say each of our dyno cells are much more expensive at a running cost of £2k each per day. I believe we have around 50 operational at the moment and another 3 being built.
It isn't a big claim at all, at the time it happened and mentioned in the other thread, we had this same discussion. It is standard practice when ever there is a problem that needs to be fixed. You recall the vehicles and fix them properly. Every component that is swapped out in that recall then goes back to the manufacturer for inspection.
What doesn't make sense?
The underlined statement is only true for machines that isn’t driven by computers. Anything computer controlled have possibility of being fixed by software tweak.
What is included in the estate?
Modern cars now have GPF's and DPF's after the catalytic converters that will help filter out most emissions, they don't have to warm up. Plus catalytic converters take very little time to heat up. Exhaust gasses don't get hotter as an engine warms up, they only get hotter as you increase engine speed and load.
Computer systems are vulnerable to cabling/interface issues that require physical intervention. Computers can suffer from environmental issues, memory faults & they break from time to time too. I seem to recall Tesla having issues with eMMC NAND flash memory devices recently?
