I bet they generate more CO2 in burning natural gas then they extract from air.

I bet they generate more CO2 in burning natural gas then they extract from air.

Granted they will recapture that CO₂ as well. Net net, they are using energy to make and otherwise concentrate CO₂.

now that is doin, not yawping. CO2 recycling - (boxley) - (16) - Oct. 10, 2015, 10:42:25 PM EDT

Looks interesting. - (Another Scott) - (15) - Oct. 10, 2015, 10:57:28 PM EDT

I don't get it. - (Andrew Grygus) - (13) - Oct. 11, 2015, 01:18:05 AM EDT

I was thinking that too, initially. - (Another Scott) - Oct. 11, 2015, 11:33:43 AM EDT

they are turning it into fuel -NT - (boxley) - (11) - Oct. 11, 2015, 12:54:24 PM EDT

Yeah? Just how do they expect to do that? - (Andrew Grygus) - (10) - Oct. 11, 2015, 08:33:32 PM EDT

uh, read the article? - (boxley) - (9) - Oct. 11, 2015, 08:48:42 PM EDT

The article is wonderfully uninformative. - (Andrew Grygus) - (8) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:15:31 PM EDT

They depend on nearly free electricity if they want to make fuel. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:29:20 PM EDT

Yes, with unlimited "almost free" electricity . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:47:24 PM EDT

maybe something similar - (boxley) - (5) - Oct. 11, 2015, 09:36:37 PM EDT

Credible science, but major problems. - (Andrew Grygus) - (4) - Oct. 11, 2015, 10:09:12 PM EDT

Plants, via photosynthesis, do this all the time. - (a6l6e6x) - (3) - Oct. 12, 2015, 09:37:51 AM EDT

Photosynthesis can't keep up. - (Andrew Grygus) - (2) - Oct. 12, 2015, 10:59:12 AM EDT

Yep, fossil fuel is the worst culprit. - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - Oct. 12, 2015, 11:07:46 AM EDT

Sadly, just a few rather simple factoids like these are pretty discouraging - (Ashton) - Oct. 12, 2015, 11:59:09 PM EDT
