Entropy? Never heard of it.

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Just checked the numbers, for those interested.
A gas power plant produces around. 200-300kWh per tonne of CO2.
Capture costs 300-900kWh per tonne captured.
So this is basically non viable using fossil fuel as the power. If you aren't, then storage of that power is likely a lot better.
It's also worth noting that it is still CO2 gas. Long term containment of a gas is far harder than a liquid or solid.
Co2 is liquified before storage.
And how do you plan to keep it liquefied, on a large scale, for 100s of years? It's currently done using pressure vessels amd chillers, that require maintenance etc.
