14. I have advised my son that an ideal target temperature...

...for first entry into a heat network would be 1400C. This is roughly the temperature at which ceric oxide decomposes to form cerous oxide and oxygen.

A recent publication in one of the journals I regularly read has suggested that the CO2 released in concrete manufacturing be reduced to methanol. Under the conditions cement manufacture using nuclear heat could, depending on what one does with the methanol, be carbon neutral and even carbon negative. The curing of concrete is de facto air capture.
