Department of Energy Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, where the researchers could use the synchrotron to study what happens at the atomic level to the pore spaces (tiny holes) in coal if deep unminable coal seams are used as part of geosequestration (the capture and storage of CO2 in geological structures).

It can include enhancing terrestrial C stocks by land fertilisation and land use change, as well as enhancing marine C stocks by ocean fertilisation, geosequestration by pumping liquid CO2 below ground, or global-scale purposeful atmospheric modification by releasing aerosols, or radiation modification by orbiting sunshades.

Cook says the risk of leakage from such geosequestration is extremely low -- a facility near Nagaoka, Japan, withstood an earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale with no leakage.
