Carbon sequestration
The government is giving GBP 25 million to develop carbon sequestration technology - pumping CO2 from fossil fuel fired power stations underground, instead of allowing it to rise into the atmosphere.
The Norwegian company Statoil has been working on this technology since 1996, and according to the Guardian have stored more than 6 million tonnes of CO2.
