Where is it burying that CO2? In oil wells? Nearly all carbon capture projects are just greenwashing oil extraction.
- Tey press it in the ground near volcsnos where it turns into limestone. The plant is powered by geothermal.
- I don't think there's a lot of oil around volcanos. Iceland isn't known for it, at least.
