I think of it as a carbon battery that allow transporting the carbon from a source to a need.

1) Climate science is mathematics.
Any climate change mitigation will involve mathematics.
If they can't quantify the total energy budget for their scheme, it's a non-starter.( No refection on you for reporting it, just a fail on their part to be transparent )
2) It's going to require energy to move the carbon from its stored location in the plastic matrix, to its final resting place. Without the numbers, there's no way to think about it.
3) Energy savings economic comparisons to the 'conventional' $738-trillion it's going to cost to sequester the carbon already in the atmosphere will have to be added to the 'savings' from processing additional exhaust gases in situ.
