Its simply a turbine using CO2 instead of water as a medium to be used in existing facilities e.g. power stations.<p>Here is the original press release: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gereports.com&#x2F;this-scientists-got-the-power-plant-in-his-hands&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gereports.com&#x2F;this-scientists-got-the-power-plant...</a>

Where does it get the energy to pressurize the carbon dioxide? Could that produce waste?<p>I&#x27;m not chemist, I&#x27;m genuinely interesting. It sounds exciting.
