Estimation of CO2 sequestration potential #816

Add storage potential for high density storage such as saline aquifers and hydrocarbon fields (gas + oil)

We use the CO2 sequestration potentials from the CO2 stop project of the European Commission

We should consider not only the column "conservative estimate Mt" done here since this is only storage potential for geological reservoirs suitable for CO2 storage not including hydrocarbon fields (gas + oil) or saline aquifers which are separately listed and in the dataset are called "daughter units" in ['conservative estimate GAS Mt', 'conservative estimate OIL Mt', 'conservative estimate aquifer Mt'].

An even more conservative assumption would be to include only storage resources with high density potentials which are the named three hydrocarbon fields (gas + oil) or saline aquifers and exclude the "conservative estimate Mt" which contains the largest part of the CO2 storage potential (78%)
