Oxy would capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, inject it into an oil field, and then argue that the CO2 used to make the oil cancels out the CO2 released by burning that oil.

This carbon dioxide could be captured from fossil-fuel-burning power plants, or other industrial facilities such as cement kilns, or directly from the air, which is more technologically challenging.

The atmosphere, by contrast, is about 0.04 percent carbon dioxide, so over one thousand tons of ordinary air would have to be processed in order to capture a single ton of CO2.
