But opening up one of the world's largest natural gas fields for exploitation and then using it to sequester carbon sounds like a long term project, not a stop gap.

Natural gas is the least contaminant of these fuels. So why not a carbon sequestration project? I know we should be focusing on renewable energy but is not possible to change the entire energy scheme from one day to another. We are going to use fossil fuels for at least 15 more years.

Sorry but I can't get too excited, and my cynical bell goes off. GE and Chevron building a carbon sequestration project to put carbon back into somewhere we've just got carbon out from ...? Well, I suppose I should expect nothing more. Carbon sequestration really should be taken off the table. A bit like nuclear waste, it's a legacy headache for future generations (or poor impoverished Africans). Not impressed, but not surprised either I guess. Hmpf.
