It says "The CO₂ can then be safely and permanently stored underground by our storage partners — Carbfix in Iceland."

So my assumption was that the collectors are located there as well and using Iceland's abundant geothermal electricity.

I remember watching something about Carbfix on TV: they inject the CO2 into underground magma and it is then incorporated in the rock formation (carbonate rocks?)

So, yes, it would make sense to use local geothermal electricity or even to produce it at the same time as the CO2 injection process if that's possible.

In other words: it definitely will not scale.

But it looks good on a pitch deck. I just wonder if it cannot be combined with those particle emitting start-up that wantsbto creat artifical clouds. Both ideas sound like they are ment to be combined in the same company just before an ICO or a SPAC.
