The CO 2 will then be pulled to the surface and fed into a turbine that converts heat into electricity. The technology could help offset the cost of geologic carbon storage. Carbon storage takes a lot of power—large pumps and compressors are needed. CO 2 enters a supercritical state under these pressures and temperatures.

The reaction for carbon dioxide splitting into carbon monoxide with aromatic aldehydes as oxygen acceptors. The resulting CO can be used to convert water to hydrogen via the water gas shift reaction. Carbon dioxide, however, is highly stable, and splitting the O=C(O) bond to generate carbon monoxide requires large energy input.
