The Norwegians started doing it at the Sleipner offshore oilfield off Bergen, at a 1 million tons of CO2 rate in 1996, and have continued to the present. The Utsira formation, to which they pump CO2 separated from natural gas, has been estimated to be able to accommodate all the CO2 from Europe's fossil-fuel power plants for 600 years. Of course it won't be used for that. This may be an outdated question - but the answer is fortunately clear. The U.S. has similar strata. the big question is whether we can get our act together enough to take any concert action in complex and potentially controversial areas. Of course.
