What’s the greatest challenge or limitation, technology- or business-wise, that your startup faces? If it fails, why will it fail?

Honestly, our biggest problem right now is moving quickly. In the next 6 months our biggest problem will be getting planning permission to stick large pipes into the sea to process large amounts of seawater ;) We don't discharge anything but seawater undersatured with CO2 so we're not negtaively impacting the surroundings. But government is slow with these things

I guess that all depends on which government you're talking to, and where.

Here's my random question. Assume your process works perfectly, and truly represents a solution to the CO2 problem.

Some very wealthy person shows up at your door, and offers you and your partners serious money to put the entire idea and process into the public domain, and release all IP rights worldwide, immediately.

How much?
