Even if anyone was prepared to run with it (unlikely - big coal and oil co's aren't famed for their environmental stewardship), there is not much chance that the CO2 would stay sequestered for long: The carbon reacts with water to form carbonic acid - in a concentrated version of the reaction killing the oceans already - which promptly starts to dissolve the rock layers holding the gas in place. This has already been seen in the small pilot sequestration schemes that have been done in the last couple of years.
The figure you need to look at is the +119%, which would seriously fuck everything.
