Summary 2(Sequester That Carbon Dioxide)

Scientists have discovered a new usage for the underground reservoir. That is to store the greenhouse gas. A team from University of Texas has already store carbon dioxide underground into the reservoir. To store carbon dioxide underground is also known as carbon sequestration. It has become the spot light of various industries and governments all over the world. Greenhouse gas is believed to be the main cause of global warming. It will lead to higher sea level, unpredictable weather and disastrous storms. Texas is one of the largest greenhouse emitter; however, it also has the best technology to sequester the carbon dioxide. The coast regions of Gulf of Mexico is estimated to be able to contain 300 billion tons of carbon dioxide. However, there are also a lot of obstacles in terms of money and technology for the carbon sequestration to become a feasible business . Carbon dioxide was actually able to be pumped into underground since 1970 to increase the output of oil. However, now carbon dioxide needs to go deeper into the ground and pipeline network has to be built.
