I can't wait until they makes these no cost, low-maintenance, and self-replacing. Oh man, just think of how easy it would be to fix our climate issues!

I'm a little fuzzy on the part where it "turns into rock."
Carbon is an amazingly flexible element that gets bound up with lots of other elements. Oxygen is also incredibly reactive and makes up almost half the mass of the Earth's crust. Add in all the heat down there for activation energy, and it starts to make sense. I'm no expert though.
You know, in a few hundred thousand years.
For the machines? They're getting at how carbon can easily turn into CaCo3 it's stable provided pH is neutral
In short, these machines make hot CaCo3. Now if we can figure how to inject marshmallows, we will have the most-wonderful volcanoes.
