At our early stage, we are focused on developing our capture technology & thinking carefully how to best partner with folks who can do sequestration.
The fossil fuel companies know how to compress & inject gases underground at huge industrial scale. They, as well as the oilfield services companies that support them, have expertise that is difficult to access otherwise: they know how to build & monitor wells, find & characterize saline aquifers & other geologic formations where CO2 can be stored, and so on. Coming from our industrial background, we know that their expertise in these areas is not something we want to categorically ignore. Applications with the EPA for Class VI (non-EOR) wells are in the pipeline process around the US, and similar injection-only wells are being built/planned in other parts of the world and we are keeping a close eye on those developments. In addition, mineralization is a possible path too.
I wish we could give a clearer answer. No doubt it's a complex question & we are thinking about it carefully in our planning.
