Capturing 90% of the CO2 is a nonsense claim.

how so ? that's the claim of the article.

I am not claiming that this makes it automatically true, but some data to back why it is false would help.

Thermodynamics: the energy produced by the engine comes from forming CO2 and heat in the first place. Capturing 90% of it without using all the energy produced by the combustion doesn’t make sense, it defies the laws of physics because entropy is being reversed.
