Since the late 19th century atmospheric CO2 levels have been steadily on the rise. Approximately one third of all human emissions come from fossil fuel power plants. As countries become more dependent on electrical energy and bring on line new power plants these CO2 levels will continue to rise [1]. Several solutions to this problem address converting the CO2 from the gaseous phase and storing it. Oceans, subsurface reservoirs such as depleted oil fields, and terrestrial carbon pools have all been suggested [2]..
