First, I want to clarify that when raw natural gas is extracted from underground wells, some portion of the gas is carbon dioxide. In this project, it is about 15%. The project's sequestration goal was to capture this CO2. So far, they are only able to capture about 1/3 of this CO2 for various technical reasons. I would not characterize 1/3 as a "very very tiny portion". Do I misunderstand your comment?
