This is highly relevant to Japan, which, as the third-largest market globally in terms of PV deployed, has a scarcity of land for large-scale ground-mount PV projects. Japan's PV market has grown fourfold in the past eight years and it has the largest proportion of solar power per land area in major countries, exacerbating these geographical constraints.

The pipeline, operated by Denbury Inc., captured carbon dioxide (CO2) from an ancient volcanic cavity called the Jackson Dome and piped it 40 miles away to the Tinsley oil field where it was then used to enhance oil extraction.
