[edit] Merge with Carbon capture and storage

I propose moving the contents of this page to a subcategory of Carbon capture and storage as carbon sequestration is a component of the CSS process. --B Carey 19:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I see now that this page is essentially a duplication of the Capturing/Extracting CO2 section of the carbon dioxide page. I now propose that the topic "CO2 sequestration" be redirected to Carbon capture and storage and that the CSS page have a link to the Capturing/Extracting page.--B Carey 23:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

It looks like this stub is excessive article fragmentation, and should be merged into other articles, with a redirect from this current title. However, although the "CO2" part of the title does not have much appeal, the "sequestration" word is key here, so we need to arrange things so that people searching for that word readily find the main article about this subject, whatever it is actually called.-69.87.200.226 10:19, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

This article is much of a jumble of facts and unwikified too. Redirect and if necessary pluck out parts and facts of this article to add to Carbon capture and storage, but definitely not copy/paste.Jens Nielsen 08:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I concur with the above advice, the present article is not necessary, the original Carbon capture and storage is better. Please note that I changed the "Mergeto" proposal towards Carbon capture and storage, instead of the (wrongly attributed) Carbon dioxide sink which is quite different, and not really related, see advice below.--Environnement2100 20:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I am not knowlegeable on the topic(s), but from the articles, it seems carbon capture and storage is a superset of carbon dioxide sequestration. If so, I agree they should be merged. -Pgan002 (talk) 06:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The writer advocating merger is mistaken, if not just an industrial whore. Mechanical sequestration, such as injection into exhausted oil reservoirs, has little to do with natural sequestration, such as forest regrowth. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.203.42.159 (talk)

I vote to not merge the two, but to link. The term CO2 sequestration as used in our industry (oil and gas production, etc.) is specific to current topics of debate and research (surrounding environmental issues and legislation), and usually refers to man-created and implemented projects. It is worth having a coherent article about this in particular, for those researching an item they may hear about on the news or read about in an article, much like the user above notes (third item from top). I suggest leaving this article as the "stub" that it is, and inserting a link to the subject of CCS processes (natural, mechanical, etc.) for those that wish to research deeper into the broader topic.Klueless (talk) 23:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Methods of CO2 Sequestration

I propose that this list needs to be reviewed and revised. The prior definition of the term CO2 sequestration incorrectly included CO2 "capture" as sequestration as well. Please see [1] and other sources. Sequestration refers only to the long-term storage of CO2. The items in this list that refer to technologies for collection should be removed.

Suggestion: replace entire "Methods" section with a link to the well-written ==CO₂ storage (sequestration)== section in the CCS article. Klueless (talk) 23:24, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
