YOu are confused:
YOu stated i said"

"nonsensical crap about "all" of Europe's carbon dioxide when if fact the actual number is 0.05% of "all" of Europe's carbon dioxide if the system ever functions."

My post included a quote from a Statoil representative abaout the potential of the entire sandstone formation under the NOrth Sea. NOte that he refers to "all the CO2 emmissions from every poewr plant in Europe" that is NOT the same as all the CO2 emmissions from ALL Sources in Europe.

"Statoil estimates that all the carbon dioxide emissions of from every power plant in Europe for the next 600 years could be stored in the (sandstone) formation."

the "crap" you attribute to me is from a Statoil representative and you didn't understand that he was referring to the potential of the entire sandstone formation and only the CO2 emmissions for powerplants - not form all sources.


YOur statement that Statoil says it can store 2.5 million tons per year - refers to a project where they are storing CO2 eleases from 2 specific sources only


"The project consists of a gas-fired power plant and methanol production facility at Tjeldbergodden in Mid-Norway, providing CO2 to the Draugen and Heidrun offshore oil and gas fields."

"Shell and Statoil have signed an agreement to work towards developing the world's largest project using carbon dioxide (CO2) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) offshore. The concept involves capturing CO2 from power generation and utilizing it to enhance oil recovery, resulting in increased energy production with lower CO2 impact.

" The project could potentially store approximately 2- 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually in two different fields."


This is entirely different matter than the question of the capacity of the entire sandstone formation under the North Sea.
