In Part 1 of this episode of the TurboTime podcast, Myth Busters Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz discuss pumping/compressing CO2.

CO2 can be captured pre-combustion or post-combustion (from the flue gas), and it then must be transported in a pipeline in which it would have to be re-pump or compressed, and then put into the ground at a geological site. The Myth Busters flesh out this process and explain in detail the process of pumping/compressing CO2 and how it plays into the hydrogen discussion. They also discuss why is it so important to know about the supercritical state of CO2 and the differences between SCO2 and CO2.
