Except that’s not what the article actually says. It says the carbon either goes to make concrete or gets pumped and stored underground. It does not get burned for energy.
I’m sure they’re hoping it cleans the air of people telling them to “do something” about “climate change” and let them get back to giving huge giveaways to oil companies.
Seriously, I might be wrong but last I knew carbon capture tech wasn’t anywhere near good enough. How long would this thing have to run to do much as break even on the emissions building it caused?
TLDR: They use a machine to capture carbon in the air. The machine solidifies the carbon into 3 inch square blocks that are then burned for energy.

… Which releases carbon into the air that is captured by these machines, pressed onto a 3 inch block and burned for energy.
It creates jobs and cleans the air.
