To my mind, all "sequestration" projects are nothing more than that, advertising to greenwash fossil fuels.

Sliepner was announced as a sequestration project in 1996. It's probably "sequestered" a few million tons of CO2 over two decades on a planet which has been releasing about 35 billion tons a year (probably a low estimate) for decades.

Sliepner is for show, and nothing else.

Here they are, crowing, in defiance of all decency about having "sequestered" one million tons: Sleipner partnership releases CO2 storage data.

To anyone with a sense of the numbers, it's positively absurd.

It falls into the same category as hydrogen, an exercise that wastes energy for no purpose other than advertising.

The way to deal with the problem is to ban fossil fuels. Nothing else is worth discussing to my mind.
