The linked article says volume, and thinking reasonably, holding 80 times its’ ‘weight’ in Co2 is rather impressive. Say one gram of crystals holds 80 grams of Co2. Co2 weights roughly 2 grams pr litre, one gram of crystals holds 40 litres of Co2.I cvhecked wikipedia, one litre of crystals holds 83 litres of Co2, which seems more of a possible task.

I’ve met him… he called my research program “second-rate”. Told me technology would make my kind obsolete in twenty years. Why is it that all of the brilliant researchers have poor people skills?
