It's interesting that discussions of this process don't mention the potential to combine the carbon sequestration with, say, nuclear power generation. This process basically requires a lot of heat. So, maybe build high temperature gas cooled reactors to provide process heat for this process (which is inherently highly interruptible), used to offset continued use of petroleum in applications where electricity just doesn't work (commercial aviation, e.g.), with the option to switch to electrical generation when renewables fall short.
