Tip Meckel, a lanky research scientist at the University of Texas' Bureau of Economic Geology, has worked for most of the past decade and a half to map a roughly 300-mile-wide arc of the Gulf Coast from Corpus Christi, Texas, through Port Arthur to Lake Charles, Louisiana. Though he's the grandson of a refinery worker and the son of an oil consultant, his interest isn't in extracting more petroleum from this rock. Instead, he has devoted most of his career to figuring out how to turn it into a commercial dump for CO2.

Suddenly, amid surging global concern about the climate crisis, some of the biggest names in the petroleum industry are jumping in.
