Economics - input power per tonne of carbon captured

Would anyone be able to add to the economics section this page on the topic of energy intensity? (abiding by WP:NOR of course)

Given that energy is a major part of the cost of DAC, it would be good to know about the energy unit cost assumptions in the different DAC costs per tonne that are cited.

(Because energy costs are very dependent on energy source, and on DAC plant location, and will vary over time, these assumptions are central to economic viability).

I'm happy to work on this in the medium term, but anyone who knows more, and can tap into some good references, should be much more efficient than my efforts.

Some answers may already be in used references. I remember that some of them talk about using renewable energy sources, but you might want to check that. – K4rolB (talk) 16:42, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
