A car produces about one pound of CO2 per mile. There is no problem with collecting the CO2 in the tailpipe, but one might easily end up with a trailer hitched to the car for carrying all this CO2 back to the filling station. The gas burned from a 15-gallon tank would fill up five 60-inch-tall gas bottles. Klaus Lackner backbottleburn share on social

In a well-monitored storage site, it is always possible to release CO2 in a controlled manner in the unlikely event that it threatens to escape. Such a release is certainly no worse than ignoring the emission in the first place. Klaus Lackner badlyco2control share on social
My personal view is the true long-term storage is mineral carbonates, which is some form of accelerated weathering. Klaus Lackner acceleratecarbonateform Change image and share on social
