Carbon dioxide, which is recognized as the major contributor to global warming as a "greenhouse gas," is formed when fossil fuels are combusted, as in electrical power plants fueled by coal, oil, or natural gas. One potential way to reduce the amount of CO₂ added to the atmosphere is to store it as a compressed gas in underground formations. Consider a 1000-megawatt coal-fired power plant that produces about 6×10⁶ tons of CO₂ per year.

Assuming ideal gas behavior, 1.00 atm, and 37 ^oC, calculate the volume of CO₂ produced by this power plant.
