You can either store (CCS: "Carbon Capture and Storage") or/and use (CCU: "Carbon Capture and Utilization") it.
Fixing the typo:

Also, probably wouldn't say that it's hard because CO2 is small. Instead, probably just say because [it's got a low enthalpy](https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/30089/why-is-th... ). Otherwise, it'd be like saying that water's hard-to-use because H2O is small, or that gold's hard-to-use because Au is small.
