Only if there’s incentive for the added cost, though. I’m skeptical such scrubbers could produce something useful enough to offset the cost by themselves.
I'd imagine if the tech gets there it will be so heavily subsidized (at least in the US) that cost won't be a huge concern. Plus if its producing a useful biproduct that might be a decent revenue booster.
