They're working on using seawater in their process, which directly addresses that issue, no?
- blacksqr 5y agoTheir wikipedia page says 25 tons of water are required for every ton of carbon dioxide. First, they'll have to expend energy to pump all that seawater to wherever they want to inject it. Will CO2 be created to generate that energy? What percentage of a CO2-producing power plant's output will be required to move all the water around? Second, what potential does injecting all that brine have to spoil underground sources of fresh water?
