What I find particular interesting is they claim the goal is 1 million metric tons per annum.
Current CO2 concentrations are at 421 ppm compared to the per-industrial level of 280 ppm which is approximately 1e12 metric tons of CO2.[0]
So with if we wanted to return to such levels over the span of 100 years, we would need 10,000 such plants, which somehow, seems doable. There were 62,000 power plants operating worldwide as of 2012, for some context.[1]
Unfortunately assuming this doesn't mean that we start producing more CO2 since we'd have an effective method of curtailing runaway CO2 production. Instead of reversing, we may just end up slowing down the rate of increase.
