As demonstrated above, the ZAP-C 3 process uses minimum 0.3 tons/hour of water to permanently sequester 0.1 tons of CO2; however, the water is essentially completely recycled within the process. Furthermore, any water that is not recycled would be used for green hydrogen generation using alkaline electrolysis. The ZAP-C 3 process uses 1 atm. pressure and thus obviates the need for high pressure reactors and compression.
