Wouldn't a regular mountain - that's not a volcano - be better? I assume when there's an eruption the values are adjusted accordingly:

> Volcanoes emit carbon dioxide in two ways: during eruptions and through underground magma. Carbon dioxide from underground magma is released through vents, porous rocks and soils, and water that feeds volcanic lakes and hot springs. Estimates of global carbon dioxide emissions from volcanoes have to take both erupted and non-erupted sources into account.

But there's still logistics problems when you have to evacuate the facility or the power supply is disrupted. Or is it somehow not an issue?
