I sometimes wonder whether people imagine that something about energy production is just impossible..despite the existence of energy production.
When it comes to fossil fuels, either as a primary fuel or a recycled fuel..we're not the ones "putting the energy in". It's extraction.
Why, why do you think that?
For "this" to work, it needs only remove carbon from the atmosphere while providing a useful product that can be used for fuel. Why would we need unlimited amounts...or even -any- non polluting sources of power? If any energy, any energy whatsoever...can be captured while reducing the amount of pollution in the environment..worst case scenario, it offsets the cost of remediation.
How can this be hard to understand?

The answer to where a recycled fuel project is going to get it's energy is the local grid.Holy fuck - you sound just like the Christers who say they know it's true because it's in the bible and that proves it......
While it's possible for a project to create a larger amount of useful energy than it consumes - even assuming that a specific project doesn't...it's a simple issue of whether or not we want to use energy to reduce pollution. This is not a novel concept, nor is it novel to profit or at least offset the cost with a marketable product.
For this concept to work - you need virtually unlimited amounts of non-polluting sources of power WHICH DO NOT EXIST.
