Quick napkin math. Direct air capture is about $300-$600/ton of CO2. The numbers for this are terrible as everyone is posting estimates of what it'll cost by 2030. So let's pick $300/ton of CO2. If we could convert captured CO2 directly into gasoline, it would have a market price of $170. This is already pretty problematic because I'm ignoring the cost of getting the hydrogen for gasoline, or the fast that 75% of CO2 is useless oxygen. More realistically, there is $60 worth of gasoline in that ton of CO2. And you still need to pay to get those hydrogen molecules. |
