How do people use the CO2 captured?
Are there economical opportunities from the captured CO2?
- alexobenauer 6y agoFrom the page: > We sell the carbon dioxide to concrete producers and other end users, and we split that revenue with our customers.
- masta 6y agoOne of the biggest end-user of CO2 is the fossil fuel industry, blowing CO2 into well to extract more fossil fuel .... Will OP make sure their product is not used to extract more fossil fuels?
- paulgross 6y agoYes absolutely. We're not going to use our CO2 to extract more fossil fuels - we're only going to work with end users (like concrete producers) that permanently sequester it.
- alach11 6y agoWhat's the problem with producing oil and gas with the CO2? When the CO2 gets left behind in a reservoir, it's still a net positive for the environment. There are even oil companies aiming to produce 'carbon-neutral oil' [0].

- paulgross 6y agoCO2 is used in concrete, greenhouses, refrigeration, dry ice, chemicals, fertilizer, carbonating sodas, etc. - there's actually 230 million tons of demand for CO2 every year! So plenty of opportunities for us to sell the CO2 we're capturing.
