Might be worth adapting this for restaurants with coal/gas fired ovens. They would more consistent producers of CO2 - not only during winter months. You could lease the capture devices to restaurants and take a larger portion of the co2 revenue. The co2 capture might have marketing appeal to differentiate a restaurant from competitors, too.

Maybe a chain like Blaze Pizza

This is a great thought — I have a similar response around the challenges with picking up the captured CO2 from such a decentralized network of capturing devices, but definitely something we'll explore down the line.

Maybe only in locations near enough a place to sell the carbon. I have no ideas what the value of the carbon is, but at some point hopefully it's worth concrete producers driving to pump and take it away.
