      They’re liquifing it for transport

        How mich energy does that take (not the tranport, the liquefying). That HAS to be super inefficient?

        I know they use it in th O&G industry to extract more O but this is just taking the piss.

          Yeah, but you can run the liquefaction on solar, or better yet, excess fossil gas that you’d otherwise have to flare.

          On the other hand, how else is this supposed to work? Afaik, the stored CO2 is pressurized too.
