Pnnl-sa-30206 the Role of Carbon Capture & Sequestration in a Long-term Technology Strategy of Atmospheric Stabilization
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 role in reducing atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and could reduce the costs associated with stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of CO2 by 35% or more.

Greenhouse gases (GHG) are a serious threat to humans and environment. Greenhouse gases have been different sources, but main factors are fossil fuels, industrial processes, deforestation and agriculture. What is now more than ever before should be considered according to the role of forests and rangelands in atmospheric carbon sequestration? Carbon sequestration is to changes in atmospheric ca...

Since Renaissance, the natural ecosystems have fallen into a complete state ofdisarray due to the rise in the amount of carbon dioxide. Soil, the unsparing stuff, is one of themajor sources of carbon storage, and plays a paramount role in the global equilibrium ofcarbon as well as carbon sequestration. Given that Iran is benefiting from vast steppes, therate of carbon sequestration in them dese...

Regulation of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere,particularly carbon dioxide as the main greenhouse gases, is one of these cases.The attention to rangeland, as cheep and reachable resources to sequestrate thecarbon dioxide, increases after the Industrial Revolution. Rangelands comprise thelarge par...
متن کاملThe 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...

Climate change is known as one of the most important environmental challenges. Sequestration of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems is a low-cost option that may be available in the near-term to mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, while providing additional benefits. In this study, we estimated the effects of planting density and grazing intensity on the potential of Atriplex canes...
