1.Carbon Capture & Storage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

**Schematic showing both terrestrial and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide emissions from a coal-fired plant**

= = ===**Carbon capture and storage (CCS) (or Carbon capture and sequestration), is the process of capturing waste [|carbon dioxide] (CO2) from large [|point sources], such as [|fossil fuel power plants] , transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground [|geological formation]. The aim is to prevent the release of large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere (from fossil fuel use in power generation and other industries). It is a potential means of [|mitigating] the contribution of [|fossil fuel] emissions to [|global warming][|[1]] and [|ocean acidification]. Although CO2 has been injected into geological formations for several decades for various purposes, including [|enhanced oil recovery], the long term storage of CO2 is a relatively new concept. The first commercial example was Weyburn in 2000. [|[2]] 'CCS' can also be used to describe the [|scrubbing] of CO2 from ambient air as a [|geoengineering] technique.**=== ===**An integrated pilot-scale CCS power plant was to begin operating in September 2008 in the eastern [|German] power plant [|Schwarze Pumpe] run by utility [|Vattenfall], in the hope of answering questions about technological feasibility and economic efficiency. CCS applied to a modern conventional power plant could reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by approximately 80–90% compared to a plant without CCS. [|[3]] The [|IPCC] estimates that the economic potential of CCS could be between 10% and 55% of the total carbon mitigation effort until year 2100. [|[3]] **===

**__[|1)**What are CNET's**]__** **concept may be extended to include other //greenhouse gases (GHG)// measured in terms of their carbon dioxide equivalence—the impact a GHG has on the atmosphere expressed in the equivalent amount of CO2. The term climate neutral is used to reflect the fact that it is not just //carbon dioxide (CO2),// that is driving climate change, even if it is the most abundant, but also encompasses other greenhouse gases regulated by the Kyoto Protocol, namely: //[|methane] (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).// Both terms are used interchangeably throughout this article.**  **[|2) CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE]** media type="youtube" key="cmVvl7Ms1G4" height="315" width="560" align="center"

**E. GEOLOGICAL CARBON SEQUESTRATION (GCS)**

media type="youtube" key="lH3hgqLM94U" height="315" width="560" align="center"

**[|1) What is GCS?]** **Geologic Sequestration (GS**) is the process of injecting carbon dioxide (CO2), captured from an industrial (e.g., steel and cement production) or energy-related source (e.g., a power plant or natural gas processing facility), into deep subsurface rock formations for long-term storage. This is part of a process frequently referred to as “carbon capture and storage” or CCS. media type="youtube" key="svAHIYdkoks" height="349" width="560" align="center"
