Carbon Sequestration
In Carbon Sequestration, you'll learn ...
- The science of carbon dioxide emissions
- How carbon dioxide can be captured
- How carbon dioxide can be sequestered in geologic formations
- How carbon dioxide can be sequestered in the oceans
Overview
This four-hour course reviews the technology associated with capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants.
Because of increasing global energy carbon emissions, rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) will enter the atmosphere unless major changes are made in the way we produce and use energy --in particular, how we manage carbon. We can minimize this impact by reducing the need for fossil fuels, finding other sources for energy production, and capturing the carbon that is emitted from fossil fuel combustion and sequestering it.
