I invented the best sequestration method about 23 years ago and it was subsequently patented by Mitsubishi. It involved compressing power station exhaust CO2 to liquid and piping it 400 metres under the ocean to store on the ocean floor in a big puddle until it gradually dissolves.

Using nitrogen liquefaction from air for superconductor cooling, [almost] pure oxygen could be used to burn coal, making CO2 exhaust liquefaction much easier.

My boe calculation was that about 25% extra energy would be needed [maybe only 20% - near enough for government work].

With heat pumps and using the low grade heat for heating residences or something, even more energy could be used so there might be no extra energy required.

But there are other ways of cutting CO2 emissions such as a dirty great carbon tax with the same amount of tax reduction on cyberspace [which requires little energy] and double that tax reduction by cutting government spending on wastrel ideas.

With huge carbon taxes, people would suddenly discover that they don't actually need monster SUVs to roar around freeways to malls and work. Trips on aircraft would be cut to essentials which would be few and far between. There would be no need to fly around the world to attend CO2 reduction conferences in exotic locations - such conferences could be done via cyberspace for a fraction of the cost.
