Funds for greenhouse gas storage

The UK government has announced £25m of funding for a plan to capture greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and store them under the North Sea.
Carbon sequestration, as it is known, has long been regarded as one possible solution that might help mitigate the effects of global warming.
It involves power stations and oil rigs holding on to their emissions of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
The gases are then pumped underground to keep them out of the atmosphere.
