1kW/h for 3 hours or 3kw.
400g plastic to 286g oil.
Seems extremely carbon negative.

(tears hair out)
I don't use seconds very much (with the exception of Unix epoch seconds, or a short experiment).
I can't divide by 3600 in my head. I can, however, multiply by 1. Therefore, Watt-seconds (AKA Joules) are not as useful to me as Watt-hours and kiloWatt-hours.
Ths technology is pointless. The carbon can be sequestered as plastic.
Which can be caught and prevented, of course, but nobody wants to build a landfill like that.
I too think it should be sequestered, ideally in fairly stable conditions; worst case, it stays there for the next thousand years and the plastic breaks down into whatever it does (entropy etc). But in a good case, they discover a means to effectively reuse, recycle or break down plastics, so that the sequestered plastic can be processed.
But it's not economically viable, not when it's cheaper to export it AND get paid by counties and the government (in the form of subsidies) for the box-ticking exercise of separating it out and calling it recycled.
