The fact that you read that article so fast and didn't even catch the enormous mistake in it, speaks volumes to how seriously you're taking this discussion.

1 million tonnes of C02 per day = 1 billion kg

A normal car emits about 5 tonnes per year of C02. That's about 14kg per day

How may times does 14 go into 1 billion?

The answer is not 100, as the bonehead author of the article indicated.

Another article has the "full scale" plant offsetting 300,000 cars, implying an annual CO2 capture rate of 1.5 million tonnes. A far cry from the 1 million tonnes per DAY of the first article we discussed.

But I digress. A fruitful discussion would be to compare: what are the metrics (projections or actual observations) for Mantra's ERC? Of one thing we're sure: it cannot extract more CO2 per day than the industrial source it's coupled-to, emits. So we're left comparing CapEx for an ERC retro-fit of an industrial source, and OpEx to create the formic salts from CO2 ($/kg). And of course the commercial value of the salts themselves.

Any Mantra shareholders happen to know these numbers?
