A method for removing CO2 from a gas stream, including methane and CO2. The method includes contacting a gas stream with an aqueous stream, so that at least a portion of the CO2 in the gas stream is dissolved into the aqueous stream, thereby creating a CO2-depleted gas stream, having an enriched methane concentration, and a CO2-enriched aqueous stream. The CO2-enriched aqueous stream is separated from the gas stream. Finally, the CO2-enriched aqueous stream is disposed of in at least one of a marine environment, a terrestrial formation or combination thereof. |
