If this works - and that's a big "if" - the total mass of CO2 sequestered would be more than six full orders of magnitude below annual anthropogenic CO2 output from two years ago - less than one-millionth - of 2023's totals.

That global carbon dioxide output is projected to have hit 39.9 billion tons in 2024 and (again, if) growth rates hold at 8% per year, it would be around 43.2 billion tons in 2025.

If the project works, cool, but the projections don't even remotely approach a rounding error in terms of what we are going to be dealing with.
