If an efficient way to use CO2 as an industrial feedstock can be found, then it opens the door for gigawatt scale gas turbine farms located at natural gas fields. (The advantage of location at the field is to minimize pipeline cost and methane leak detection cost.) Electricity generation with gas turbines is about as efficient as it gets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine#Advances_in_technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine#Advances_in_techno... and natural gas is cheap. Since the byproducts are almost only water and CO2 (some amount, I know not how much, NO2) isolating the CO2 has to be about as cheap as it gets. Remaining economic problem, find a value add for pure CO2.
