Methods and systems for greenhouse gas capture and sequestration

A method comprising:

• forming a mixture stream by dissolving carbon dioxide in water;
• injecting the mixture stream into a solid subterranean formation, wherein carbon dioxide is diluted to a concentration that does not cause the solid subterranean formation to swell, and the solid subterranean formation preferentially absorbs CO2 gas over nitrogen and methane;
• wherein the methane within the solid subterranean formation moves along a pressure gradient across multiple axis of the solid subterranean formation;
• sequestering downhole carbon dioxide within connected fractures of the solid subterranean without swelling the solid subterranean formation.
