Which, unfortunately doesn't help, since sequestration of either CO or CO2 is a crock.

A little basic chemistry tells us that you end up with more CO or CO2
than the CH2 you started with, same number of molecues but heavier.
Where are you going to put it all?  For every cubic foot of methane you
extract, you'll have to find a place to put at least a cubic foot of
CO or CO2, which means building an infrastructure to bury gas as big
as the one we have to extract it.  Not going to happen.

If it's not obvious, the whole sequestration thing is a cynical play
by the fossil fuel industry to try and distract us from the fact that
we're going to have to be pumping and using a whole lot less oil and
gas if we don't want to cook the planet.

Vaclav Smil has written extensively about this.  See this paper of his
