Carbon Sequestration (Ohio Timed & Monitored)

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

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 200 minutes has been met.

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.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the science of carbon dioxide emissions.
• Describe methods used to capture carbon dioxide.
• Explain how carbon dioxide can be sequestered in geologic formations.
• Describe how carbon dioxide can be sequestered in the oceans.
• Explain how carbon dioxide can be sequestered in terrestrial landforms.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
