For context, Global Natural Gas production is approximately 4,000 billion cubic meters per year.

To sequester the world's carbon emissions, we would need to move and store <1% the volume per year.

That's apples to oranges: we don't store anything like a year's worth of gas.

And anyone in Europe can tell you that natural gas transfer and storage is far from a solved problem.

The idea is not to actively store it, but dump it somewhere where it will store itself.

Europe is a great example of how we have the technology to transfer huge amounts of gas, and the challenges are largely politics and capital.

Nordstream #1 moves 60 billion m3 of gas 1,200 km and cost ~$10 billion
