چکیده

Amid the dire warnings of severe weather perturbations and globally rising temperatures, scientists, engineers, policy makers, and others are searching for ways to reduce the growing threat of climate change. There is no single solution, but the development of carbon capture and sequestration technologies, which has accelerated greatly in the last decade, may play an important role in addressing this issue.

Pnnl-sa-30206 the Role of Carbon Capture & Sequestration in a Long-term Technology Strategy of Atmospheric Stabilization

In this paper, we examine the potential of carbon capture and sequestration technologies to make a significant contribution to national and global efforts to control carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. We examine the performance of these technologies under two alternative future energy-policy scenarios. We conclude that carbon capture and sequestration technologies could indeed play a significant r...

Impact of Tillage and Crop Rotation Systems on Soil Carbon Sequestration

What is carbon (C) sequestration? Carbon sequestration can be defi ned as the capture and secure storage of carbon that would otherwise be emitted to or remain in the atmosphere. The idea is to (1) prevent carbon emissions produced by human activities from reaching the atmosphere by capturing and diverting them to secure storage, or (2) remove carbon from the atmosphere by various means and sto...

The energy policy consequences of future CO2 capture and sequestration technologies

Within the framework of the ETP project, the IEA has assessed the potential and the consequences of CO2 capture and sequestration for long-term energy policies. A number of policy scenarios were analysed quantitatively in order to assess the future role of CO2 capture technology from an economic, energy security and environmental perspective. The preliminary results suggest an important role fo...
