چکیده

Carbon dioxide sequestration by aquatic micro algae appears to be the most promising, environmental friendly and cost effective means of reducing carbon dioxide emission in the energy sector. Carbon sequestering–capturing and storing carbon emitted from the global energy system by such photo-bioreactors could be a major tool for reducing atmospheric CO2 emissions. Such carbon sequestration technologies could be ideally incorporated and best applied in connection with large-scale energy conversion plants such as coal power plants and oil refineries. Carbon sequestration offers the possibility for new industrial applications such as the production of hydrogen, together with electricity, from fossil fuels. This paper provides a state of he art review on this subject.

The Effect of Stocking Rate on Carbon Sequestration of Prangos ferulacea (Case Study: Gorgou Summer Rangelands, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, Iran)

Rangelands are the most important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Knowledge of plant response to grazing is one of important requirements for rangeland management. Stocking rate is one of main factors in destruction of the vegetation cover in rangeland ecosystems. Livestock grazing has the potential to substantially alter carbon storage in grassland ecosystem. This study examined the effect...
