Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Assessment through Pyrogenic Biomass: Case for Turkey

Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Background The world's oceans represent the largest potential sink for the carbon dioxide (CO 2) produced by human activities (anthropogenic CO 2). Already oceans contain the equivalent of an estimated 140,000 gigatons of CO 2. The ocean's natural carbon transfer processes span of thousands of years and will eventually transfer 80-90 percent of today's man-made CO 2 emissions to the deep ocean....

Reductive Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide

The United States currently meets 80% of its energy needs by burning fossil fuels to form CO2. The combustion-based production of CO2 has evolved into a major environmental challenge that extends beyond national borders and the issue has become as politically charged as it is technologically demanding. Whereas CO2 levels in the atmosphere had remained stable over the 10,000 years preceeding the...

Carbon dioxide sequestration in cement kiln dust through mineral carbonation.

Carbon sequestration through the formation of carbonates is a potential means to reduce CO2 emissions. Alkaline industrial solid wastes typically have high mass fractions of reactive oxides that may not require preprocessing, making them an attractive source material for mineral carbonation The degree of mineral carbonation achievable in cement kiln dust (CKD) underambienttemperatures and press...
