ND has plenty of partially depleted shale oil fields. The CO2 from the lignite can be compressed into a supercritical fluid and injected into existing wellheads. The CO2 displaces the remaining oil and forces it upward where it can be recovered. The recovered oil can pay for the cost of CCS.
Just so that we all are using the same vocabulary, what you are proposing here is to do fracking, using CO2.
(Not necessarily a bad idea.)
No. This is enhanced oil recovery and was done for years/maybe decades until fracking came to Permian basin.
It appears “flu season” is also COVID season. The problem this summer will be to get folks to take the vaccine when the threat appears to be mostly gone before next years “flu-COVID” season.
Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
