Francois in Paris:
a CTL plant actually produce its CO2 as a fairly pure, separated stream, ready to pump if CO2 sequestration ever becomes reality.
I read somewhere about an idea to have the CO2 exhause go trhrough a pond full of blue-green algae to produce second-generation biofuels... Of course, when you burn the biofuels you still release that CO2, but in terms of CO2 emitted per energy produced it improves the balance.

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
