What's the nation-wide demand for CO2 for concrete? Is it high enough that they can continue to be your CO2 consumer if you add this to, say, 10% of trucks?

- paulgross 6y agoThere are 230 million tons of demand for CO2 worldwide every year, and all the semi trucks in the US produce 340 million tons of CO2. Medium term, though, we're actually planning to start sequestering the CO2 deep underground in depleted oil wells in exchange for government tax credits, because we know the market for CO2 utilization is finite. Long term, we'd love to turn the CO2 back into synthetic fuel right at the truck stop where it's offloaded.
