Uh, this CCS system uses the CO2 to produce oil, which would be quite an own goal if it wasn't for the fact they are brazen enough to pretend that "out of sight out of mind" is a real strategy when dealing with CO2 emissions. Also the use of gas in oil extraction also means a sizeable amount of that CO2 you just paid for in energy to capture goes back into the atmosphere anyway.

Actually, you are right. I would downvote my own comment I’d that was possible. Apologies.

  There is a project in Canada in which they are legitimately trying to learn about carbon sequestration. They have an army of phds working on this and spend a lot of money on monitoring. I’d thought that this was associated with this particular coal fired plant. Anyway, here is a thread. https://ptrc.ca/projects/co2-eor-and-storage/aquistore https://ptrc.ca/projects/co2-eor-and-storage/aquistore
