"they release pure carbon dioxide which can be stored underground or used to create products like...fuels"

sounds really smart indeed

ps. they address this issue citing that they would need more federal funding to bury more co2 underground instead of using it for making fuels carbon neutral..it's so hard to see that for 100$ now we would sacrifice our very own life if somebody doesn't pay us $150 to do otherwise

The thermodynamics of this are a disaster, which will drive their cost of capture higher than this range. Capturing CO2 from coal fired power plants costs about $100/tonne and is easier due to substantially higher concentration than doing so from air. Their pilot plant requires significant electrical and heat input which they get from burning natural gas -and then capturing that flue gas. I think this is a PR exercise for the primary investors.
