Capturing rogue carbon

declare that the warming world is phenomenon beyond all doubt, and that the likelihood of this being caused by the human action of putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere — and not, say, by increased solar activity, as some have argued — is greater than 90 per cent. For all but the most perverse of sceptics, it ends the basic argument. And it also urgently warns that the risks are greater,...

Carbon Capturing and Sequestration

Capturing Carbon Dioxide From Air

The goal of carbon sequestration is to take CO2 that would otherwise accumulate in the atmosphere and put it in safe and permanent storage. Most proposed methods would capture CO2 from concentrated sources like power plants. Indeed, on-site capture is the most sensible approach for large sources and initially offers the most cost-effective avenue to sequestration. For distributed, mobile source...

The power and danger suggested by the term “rogue” add to the public fascination with extreme ocean waves, but they also present important and challenging scientific problems and pro...
