In response to a tax on greenhouse -

pumps more than 99 percent of it 2,600 feet beneath the seafloor into a porous sandstone formation capped by impervious rock.

natural gas and used to heat the rock in old oil fields to

gas because cooling the
gas to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit and then shipping and regasifying it requires
more energy than
pumping natural gas through domestic pipelines.
(For
gas midstream projects the emissions may be
more significant, due to leaks from pipelines and
pump stations, as well as by consumption of fuel used to liquefy the
natural gas for marine transport).
