There's very little you can do with the captured CO2. It's a pretty inert gas that can only be broken up and reused for a second reaction if you add energy which is contrary to the goal of creating electricity. So the only option is storage, which is a bit of a problem at scale. There are some test power plants in germany that try this, but the basic idea is to collect the CO2 and push it into old, used natural gas fields. However, obviously nobody really feels safe sitting on a giant bubble of CO2...
- michael_h 14y agoI generally store captured CO2 in homebrew. Clean. Cheap. Delicious.
- Xylakant 14y agoGreat idea. Does it scale?
- maxerickson 14y agoUh, temporary?
- michael_h 14y agoWell, some of these tripels only seem to get better with age, so extrapolating from that, we can assume that storing it forever will produce an infinitely tasty beverage. Drinking it will, of course, truncate the 'forever' timeline, thus making it less than 'infinitely tasty', so the only way to preserve the extreme flavor is to never open it, thus: sequestered. waves hands
