A pity it's not diesel, but it's a start

As one of the comments mentions, to harvet the existing CO2 (and I suppose water vapour) generated by power stations would reduce the overal cost by quite a margin. Then there are the bi-products from farms, human waste etc which currently end up going straight into the atmosphere.
Of course the amounts are still minute in the greater scale of things, but the fact there is a potential alternative is key to a switchover point based on the cost of extraction/processing.
