The main problem is that it’s unclear if these plants are carbon negative.

They’re displacing liquid oil with an equal volume of compressed CO2 gas, so I’m guessing they are emitting way more carbon than they are capturing.

Net negative carbon emissions requires money. Somebody will have to pay a lot of money to capture and sequester that carbon. Their plan is to have the oil pay for it, but eventually it will have to be us.

Their solution doesn't solve the problem, but it's a step on the path towards a solution.
