It's an intriguing idea, but I do wonder if they can get the oil industry on board with the carbon sequestration. This analysis has further details...

CIRI plans coal to gas

CIRI says that carbon sequestration through enhanced oil recovery is a proven technique with a 25- to 30-year track record in Texas and Louisiana. But the corporation has yet to discuss its enhanced oil recovery concept with any of the Cook Inlet oil producers, Schutt said.

If, however, the enhanced oil recovery proposal does not work out, CIRI would seek some alternative means of carbon sequestration, perhaps using a depleted oil or gas field. In the event of needing an alternative sequestration approach, CIRI might seek federal funding in the form of assistance for a sequestration experiment — the required sequestration techniques are not yet proven.
