It didn't say Japan was doing it "yet", but it did say Canada, in a cooperative project with the US, has an experimental system in operation...

"Scientists have been studying the process for years, and an experimental project began in Canada in 2005. In the Canadian project — a joint effort by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Canadian government and private industry — carbon dioxide was piped from the Great Plains Synfuels plant in Beulah, N.D., where it is a byproduct of coal gasification, to the Weyburn oil field in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Japan has no commercial underground carbon dioxide storage operations, Nishio said. But the proposed Japanese project would dwarf the similar operations in Norway, Canada and Algeria, each of which pump about 1 million tons a year."
