Love seeing carbon capture concepts that go beyond temporary storage and oil drilling. This is some cool stuff.

The story reminded me of the carbon capture project that stronghold digital mining attempted to do. They were successful, but could never get carbon credit
where they aerate the fly ash that's produced from burning coal to create calcium carbonate, which is essentially limestone

Looks pretty cool, indeed.
The plants are cheap enough to build that they don’t have to run continuously to make economic sense. That means that it’s also possible to run on cheap, intermittent solar power from the grid. (The caveat: The company will be competing with data centers that also want to run on renewable energy and may be willing to pay more.)
They may also be competing with our beloved miners for renewable energy... Yet another incentive to develop this type of resources~~
