Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is currently all the rage. Carbon dioxide (CO2), the stuff you exhale with every breath you take, is supposedly a "pollutant," according to the left. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere---which gets there by burning things like wood and gasoline and natural gas---supposedly causes a canopy effect trapping the sun's rays and catastrophically heating the planet (i.e., global warming). Except nobody can actually prove (a) the planet is catastrophically heating, and (b) even if Mom Earth is heating a little bit, we don't know what causes it. To question global warming (to demand real science) is a sin against the left and marks you as a "denier" in their twisted world. A solution proposed by some is to capture CO2 as it is burned, trap it, and then pump it down a well for permanent storage underground. The very first commercial well to do so, in Illinois, has sprung a couple of leaks.
