Thank you for your comment. I'm really looking for a more extensive overview, an extensively motivated educated guess.
For example, catching CO2 might be done much more cheaply when burning CH4 at a power station. This might change the equation or not. There also seems to be quite a bit of evolution in reducing the price of carbon capture. [0][1] I seem goals of $30/ton for carbon capture and wonder what factors will change the equation...

- pfortuny 4y agoI guess he is trying to say: use existent gas stations and/or we might be able to capture all the CO2 therein. But I am not gp, obviously.
- markvdb 4y agoI see a certain elegance rather than absurdity in closed cycle green energy storage. Whether H2, NH3, CH4 or something else, chances are that will require high quality CO2 sources. Both CO2 based electric power plants and cement factories look like excellent candidates. I find the simplicity of compressed CO2 energy storage [0] ten times more elegant, but I'll be happy with any progress towards scalable distributed abundant cheap energy storage.
