I want to warn readers, and people not aware of high school physics.
Capturing CO2 is one thing, but doing anything with it later completely different.
Just capturing CO2 does not involve returning the energy debt of carbon-oxygen bond, but doing anything with it later does, and usually many times the electric energy gained from combustion.
In other words, making anything useful out of it will require you to expend many, many times more hydrocarbon energy than if you didn't, or just synthesized directly.
Anybody claiming the opposite have either never finished a high school, or is an utter fraud, and, unfortunately,the number of such has been skyrocketing recently, pampered by windfall of environmental grants, and investments signed off by equally ignorant, or corrupt people.
- bmm6o 6y agoYes, but presumably the buyers know what they can do with the CO2. I do think that knowing what happens next is important if you're interested in reducing atmospheric CO2.
