Afterwards, you can turn it in all directions, but except to have free hydrogen, it's pipe.
You can store it
Permanent underground storage of CO2 is a technology proven and implemented by Equinor for more than 24 years. The CO2 sequestered under the seabed is closely monitored and no CO2 leaks have ever been observed or detected. CCS technology is firmly established in Norway and is supported by the Norwegian state but also civil society.
The final investment decision for the Northern Lights project is scheduled for 2020 and the start of operations is planned for 2024. Already 7 memoranda of intent have been signed with European manufacturers such as Fortum, Air Liquide, ArcelorMittal and others, thus proving the high level of interest aroused by the Northern Lights project and for the CSC more generally.

The main sources of CO2 emissions are within the reach of potential storage. Our detailed analysis in this report of CO2 emissions from electricity and industrial facilities in the People's Republic of China, Europe and the United States reveals that 70% of emissions are within 100 km of potential storage, a relatively convenient and cost effective fork for transporting captured CO2. In the United States, the CO2 captured in existing facilities is transported on average 180 km. But shorter distances can reduce costs and reduce infrastructure development times. The overall technical capacity for CO2 storage worldwide is vast, but a detailed site-specific assessment is required.
