Pilot plant tests carbon capture equipment and methods

Comment

The removal of CO2 is great! However I did feel that the article failed to quantify the benefit. Assuming the C02 is transported to a site where it can be stored (I understand old oil wells are being considered) It needs power to do this. What is the overall efficiency? I.e. the ratio of CO2 captured to the CO2 generated. Taking the non-recurring energy used to set up the plant, how long before a positive benefit is achieved?
