Storing liquids (or solids) from at STP is far simpler than storing it in gaseous form. If we can cheaply extract CO2 or methane from the atmosphere and make liquid from it, we could sequester it in all sorts of trivial ways.
- kokanee 4y agoSure, but that's not what Twelve is doing or what the "I should start an oil company" comment suggested. They're talking about extracting CO2 to make fuel, and then burning it again in the same petroleum-based economy.
- pcl 4y agoYeah sure. And that ties into all our existing infrastructure, which seems fair. If we can extract and burn and extract and burn and keep going with that loop (without dinosaur input), then all that extract-burn cycle is zero-carbon. We can then separately decide to pump some of that cycle’s output into easy liquid storage, thus going carbon-negative.
