Storing the CO2 after it's been separated is the easy part. Already CO2 is regularly injected underground to enhance oil extraction, and the CO2 sequestered is much greater than the CO2 released by burning the oil.

- pfdietz 2y agoI overstated it, and thank you for calling me on that, but one can find references that say it can breakeven. For example: https://netl.doe.gov/research/coal/energy-systems/gasification/gasifipedia/eor https://netl.doe.gov/research/coal/energy-systems/gasificati... "each ton [of CO2] can yield 2-3 barrels of oil" Burning a barrel of oil produces 468 kg of CO2, so 2 barrels would be slightly carbon negative.
